Belfast trolleybuses on Falls Road - 1968

A slow moving funeral cortege on its way to the City Cemetery has caused real problems for the bus service, with 7 vehicles now all bunched together. This must have been a regular headache for the City Transport department in attempting to maintain scheduled services. The view was taken during the last weeks of operation of trolleybuses in Belfast. This section of Falls Road has changed beyond recognition, and indeed the only building visible here which still remains is the distant Divis Tower. On the right new housing has been developed, and on the left the industrial buildings have been replaced by a leisure centre and the Twin Spires complex. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
