Sth. Lancs trolleybus No. 18 - a photo on Flickriver

            An old photograph taken at the Spinning Jenny Street trolleybus terminus in Leigh of South Lancashire Transport (SLT) trolleybus fleet No. 18 (registration TF5797) showing a 'Mosley Common' destination blind.

The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name of  J. Copland, and with the date "30 Jun 1958".

No. 18 was new to SLT in May 1931 comprising a Guy BTX 3 axle chassis No. 23723 and a Roe lowbridge body No. GO1718 seating 55 (L29/26R). It had destination roller blinds fitted in 1943 and had its front and side panels rebuilt by Bond, Wythenshawe, in 1952.

It was withdrawn from service when the trolleybus system closed on 31 Aug 1958 with all trolleybus ownership transferring to the local Passenger Transport Executive, the following month it was scrapped by TPE (Transport (Passenger Equipments)).
