Brilliant thanks. Not only the buses but also the other vehicles including the 3-wheel truck and trailer (usually British Railways I think). Love the 6 wheel trolley bus. A time when you could park your Austin A40 in Piccadilly!

Wonderful memories. I always loved our Manchester Corporation halfcab buses,there was so many varieties knocking around in the mid 60's, and from time to time as kids we would be taken to town and I would be fascinated by these curious looking trolleybuses (which we never really saw locally)I must have seen them not long before their withdrawal from service. It's amazing that somebody took time out to make to make this film. Thanks for sharing!
