Additional information: For the outbound run from Stevenson Square 1344 didn't use Pollard Street but instead continued to Every Street and took that road, using battery manoeuvres at each end to make the (unwired) connections. Trolleybuses did not normally run in this direction along Every Street.
The coach behind is Sheffield 900 (9000 WB), a Roe Dalesman-bodied AEC Reliance MU3RV which spent the day following the tours.
