British Trolleybuses - Belfast
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 14 Apr 1968
Belfast replaced most of its tram routes with trolleybuses, but by the time of my visit the network was reduced to a single main route between Whitewell in the North and the Falls Road in the South West where there were branches to Whiterock and Glen Road. In this picture the trolleybus has just turned off the Falls Road at Cemetery Junction and has started the climb up Whiterock Road. The cemetery is on the right; the chimney belongs to the maintenance yard. Google Earth indicates that the buildings are little changed over the last 40 years.
