This postcard is of great interest to me, although a lot of other vehicles get in the way.
 
It would be about 1950
Looking West
 
Trams were still running on Port - Fitzroy service.
Westown line can be seen tarred over up by the GPO clock tower.
 
Tram overhead was rebuilt to OB to match the Trolleybus wires in town section from Elliot Street round into Egmont Street.
 
Two trolleybuses together in town could be seen only twice a day, 12.05 and 4.25 as an extra bus ran out for the "Peak"
This bus did a Cutfield Road short trip.
It also enabled a change of vehicle to be achieved and all the four buses could be rotated in service each day.
