We had no trolleybuses back then or any earlier, and we still don't, howcome? Electric traction is far more suited to urban transit applications than diesel, and always has been.
@DaveSpencer32 thanks for uploading. very nostalgic. any chance you could do a video featuring buses in melbourne in the 80's or 90's, please? Thanks again.
LAST FEW SHOTS ARE ON THE CORNER OF GLENHUNTLY RD, BARKLY STREET,ORMOND ESPLANADE WHERE THEY ALL MEET..YOU CAN SEE THE RESERVE....ROBINSON RESERVE ELWOOD
Garden City. BP oil tank 300m west of Station Pier. Queensbridge st heading into city just passed casino. Then south on Russell st down from Victoria St. Then south along Lygon st left at Elgin st (Percy’s old pub was on the corner 1:10). Then back up Russell st to La Trobe st. East on Glenhuntly rd into Horne st Elsternwick (Daily Planet), outside station – south on Horne st turning right into Rusden to Npn Hwy. North up Barkly st…stumped on the last shot
My late father, my uncle and great uncle drove for the mmtb ranging from the late 60's through the 90's, they were pre select auto's in the mk3 just select a gear on the column and hit the clutch, for the next gear do the same but it won't change till you use the clutch as required but the real hurdle was no power steering!
