    It's not the first trip, but indeed early in the life of this trolley bus system. Number 2 was the first to run under the wires in late 1933, but double decker number 3 did not enter sdervice until September 1934. -Ian MacCowan.

    I suspect that this photo is taken in Darlinghurst Road, looking south, with Bayswater Road to the left. The tram track on the left appears to be swinging to merge with the other track, to form the Kings Cross tram terminus.
  • SamP1999 said:
    The perspective sounds correct. The buildings in front of the double decker are where the "Hyatt Kingsgate" was built. I seem to have hazy memories of the buildings from the early sixties as my Dad had an office just down the road at 146 William Street.

    BOTTLE-NECK REMOVED. NEW SOUTH HEAD-ROAD. Five hundred men of the permanent way staff of the Tramway Department removed the bottle-neck opposite the Stadium at the week-end. Owing to the improvement scheme for New South Head-road by the Main Roads Board, the bottle-neck created by the front of the tramway sheds opposite the Stadium at Rushcutter Bay had to be widened. The front of the building has been put back 20 feet, and. as the tramway lines had to be altered to do this, 500 men worked day and night from Saturday until this morning to complete the work. The board intends to cover over the big drain which runs alongside the tramway depot, thus allowing the footpath, which borders the park, to be continued. A terrace of shops and houses has been removed. About 20 feet have been added to the roadway by the Improvement, which will ease a congestion which was the cause of much heart-burning, especially upon Saturday nights.
