Absolutely wonderful compilation .Really enjoyed the visit back in time when Wellington would have been a real joy to drive either the Trolleys or Diesels. Some notes, number 11 was the oldest in traffic by now and the only one at the time to have a white roof ,experimental as the diesels all had received white roofs ,but in the end only one other trolley was painted the same way until the Volvo's arrived in 1981. Number 66 (at 8'35sec) was saved by the late Wayne Little ,now part of the Omnibus Society and number 82 was shipped to UK where it was built several years ago and was on show this past weekend at Sandtoft gathering rally looking really smart. .Thanks for posting ,a great tribute to a begone era.
