Huddersfield 625, New Hey Road, 1964

            A goodly number of people alight Huddersfield trolleybus 625 on  New Hey Road at its junction with Celandine Avenue. The single Revo 'Magna-lite' open-tungsten street light lantern suspended from the overhead wires would be all that lit the out-of-town bus stop at night. The lantern is mounted in such a position that it would have silhouetted passengers stood at the bus stop against the lantern light, so the approaching bus driver to would see them; such were the lighting requirements of the day.

625 is bound for nearby Outlane where it will terminate, the bus working the 73 crosstown service to and from Waterloo. In July 1968, this trolleybus service would be the last to succumb to conversation to a motorbus replacement service; this clean and silent servant finally departing the streets of Huddersfield.

Photo - April 1964.
