JLCAK681o

Subject: Bradford C. T. 681 (CAK 681) and 593 (HNU 971)
Chassis: Karrier E4 (CAK 681) and AEC 661T (HNU 971)
Body: Weymann H30/26R (CAK 681) and East Lancs H35/28RD (HNU 971)
Location: Saltaire, Saltaire Road
Date: c.1960

Two trolleybuses approach the terminus in Saltaire. The use of the route number 41 on the leading one implies it has operated a short working from Thackley. 681 had been rebuilt by Salmesbury Engineering in 1950, gaining sliding ventilators instead of half-drops. With this rebuilding it lasted until May 1961, a very creditable twenty-two years.
