Cardiff trolleybus FBO93, an old B&W slide I’ve had for many years. I don’t know if this is an original or who the photographer was? My apologises for that, but until that is established, it needs to be shared.

Greater Glasgow, Alexander bodied Atlantean LA232 negotiates road works in Union Street, Glasgow on a very sunny 23rd April 1974. The 78-seater bus had been new to Glasgow Corporation in February 1965.
13th April 1965, the Beatles hit 'Ticket to Ride' was 'riding' high in the British pop charts, it was the year that Sir Winston Churchill died, the year that the first US combat troops arrived in Vietnam, the year that Craig Breedlove, driving his jet-powered Spirit of America--Sonic 1 vehicle, raced to 600.601 mph over the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, and set a new land-speed record, ...Meanwhile in Britain, Nottingham City Transport's No51 (51 NAU), a Daimler Fleetline of 1962 vintage sits quietly under soon to be redundant trolleybus overhead wires, awaiting passengers in Market square, Nottingham, while the World about it goes utterly and completely mad.

I can't recall exactly where I took this picture, but I think that it was near St Paul's Cathedral, maybe Cannon Street? The bus has since been saved to preservation. 07.9.82
Skills 58, a 1966 51-seat Duple Commander, AEC Reliance coach in Huntingdon Street Bus Station, Nottingham on the 29th May 1971. Another gem from the late R Copson.
Another picture taken in Cannon Street, Central London in September 1982; LS460 the Leyland National II still being relatively new at the time.

Despite nightly cleaning, buses soon become a magnet for road-dirty, especially in wintry conditions. With its lower saloon windows greyed out, Travel West Midlands Metrobus 3116 demonstrates how grimy they become just after a few hours of service. Nearing its terminus on the nearby Warstones housing estate, 3116 is seen on Warstones Road in Wolverhampton, just as it brakes to make the right turn into Warstones Drive on Thursday 3rd January 2002.
