Possibly Newcastle, or maybe between there and London we have United JHN839D showing the 207 service on the blind. No date but pre NBC.
The coach was a Bristol RE with ECW C43F bodywork dating from June 1966.

Huddersfield trolleybus 629 pictured at the Outlane terminus of the 73 service, which was situated on New Hey Road at its junction with Slack Lane. Today, the scene remains semi-recognisable, the turning loop is no more, but part of it is discernible. The stone built public toilets are long gone, a private property now stands on the site. The shop and the detached house are still there, the chimney on the house having been shortened in recent years.
The 73 service was Huddersfield's last trolleybus route in 1968, and 629 would become Huddersfield's last trolleybus. At the end of the final day, 629 pulled into Longroyd Bridge depot on Saturday 13th July 1968, with "Last Trolley" scribbled into the road dirt below the lower saloon rear window. It's sad to record that 629 wasn't made pristine for that last journey.
Photo - June 1961. Scanned from the original 35mm slide.
