Maybe hitting the bottom of the barrel, but here is an enlargement of small
part of a panorama shot from atop Mount Victoria in the spring of 1960.

The yellow dots point out (left to right):

A diesel bus southbound in Kent Terrace. This would be a No.3 to Seatoun or
Lyall Bay, which had lost their trams but not yet received trolleys.

A bus (westbound?) on the north side of Courtenay Place, just above and to the
right of the large mass of the Embassy Theatre. Once again a No.3, I guess.

A tram eastbound in Courtenay Place near Tory Street.

The Wakefield Street depot this side of Chaffers St. Can't make out any
trolleybases here - maybe if I'd used a telephoto :-(

Considering all the trolleybuses that ran along Wakefield Street, it's a bit
disappointing not to see a single one here.
