CDT637 was new to DCT in Jul 1945 comprising a Karrier Utility W4 chassis No. 50183 and a Park Royal Utility body No. B29214 seating 56 (H30/26R. It was originally given fleet No. 76 and in Apr 1948 was renumbered as 376. In Jan-Mar 1955 it was rebodied with a Roe No. G03966 seating 62 (H34/28R), and was withdrawn when the DCT system closed. The original Park Royal body was sold to Higgins & Parkes of Doncaster for use as a store room, the chassis with Roe body was sold in Feb 1964 to Bolland of Wakefield for scrap.

The parts of the Doncaster trolleybus systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closed in Dec 1963.

The sister car No. 75/375 is preserved and runs at Sandtoft.

The original photographer may have taken copies from their original negative and passed them out (sold them?) so there may be other copies out there of your (and my) 'original' transport photo, although occasionally there may be 'holiday snaps' type photos where there are not any other photos exactly the same in existence.
