British Trolleybuses - Manchester
Lumb Lane, Audenshaw was the nominal terminus of the exclusively Manchester part of the joint operation with Ashton under Lyne Corporation, although trolleybuses continued to the junction of Manchester Road and Droylsden Road to make a loop terminus.
The buildings in the background remain unchanged, but the green patch now sports some trees.
