Trolley bus heading up Northumberland Street, 1961

    Very nostagic image for me. The year I left Newcastle for London. The trolley bus is of particular interest. This appears to be number 627 (NBB627); a 70seat monster, delivered in November 1950. The chassis and running gear was constructed by British United Traction and the bodywork was by Metro Camell Weymann of Birmingham. She was sold for scrap to a dealer in Bingley in February 1967. These vehicles were obtained for service on a joint venture with Gateshead & District Tramways Company. This company withdrew from the proposed arrangement and Newcastle Corporation found themselves with a surplus of trolleybuses. Sister vehicle number 628 was intended for preservation by the London Trolleybus Society, as the design was based upon one used by London Transport. (sic) This information is from the records of The PSV Circle, whose mission is to record the history of Public Service vehicles and Operators

    The condition of the trolleybus is also worthy of comment. As my memory serves me the bright yellow livery of Newcastle Corporation was always kept spotless. Number 627 appears have missed a few baths!

    The street looks so much better before pedestrianisation.

    No 33 trolleybus for Osborne Road. Whenever I waited for a 33 to my grandparents a 31, 31A or 31B for Gosforth would come along, and usually they seemed to come in 3s! If I wanted a 31 for Gosforth it woud be a line of 33s.

    Never mind the bus, look at the magnificent art deco building it is driving past! Pulled down and replaced with this, a building so ugly they've had to hide it behind plants to try and stop it making puppies cry!

Start today, make no delay!

    Sack the sign writer! MacLean on every product and sign, and he (almost certainly, he) manages McLeans.

    Carol Maddock Huh! Is this part of the MacMetoo movement, blaming the men for everything???
  • Carol Maddock said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons No, it's the McLeanOut movement!

    A testimonial letter (which I'm sure was not made up at all by the ad company!!) is included in one of the ads. The date looks to be 3/10/26 or 5/10/26.
