Turning into Green Farm Road, Cardiff ? 1966
Trolleybuses served the large Ely council estate with a long loop using Cowbridge Road West and Grand Avenue. This is the furthest point of the loop at Green Farm Lane.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide

Cardiff Trolleybus route 10B at Ely
A view taken to complement Image complete with the same 'phone box! The route 10 at Ely was the last extension to the Cardiff Trolleybus system before a change of policy led to its run down in favour of diesel buses and eventual closure in 1970. If I remember correctly the 10A and 10B both ran to Ely but took opposite directions on a loop around the housing estate. I think this picture was taken only months before closure, but I'm open to correction. The original slide was very underexposed and it is only thanks to modern digital processing that it has been possible to recover this image.

British Trolleybuses - Cardiff
The busiest trolleybus route in Cardiff served the large Ely housing estate. The services were provided in the form of a loop running out via Cowbridge Road and returning via Grand Avenue, or vice versa. The main service operated along Macdonald Road, which can be seen diverging to the left from Grand Avenue at this point. The trolleybus in the picture has come from Green Farm Road. This was an extra loop which was served in one direction only by about one in three of the journeys operating clockwise.
This scene appears to have changed very little in 40 years, although there are now some trees in the reservation of Grand Avenue.
