| What look like tram tracks are the overhaead cable for the Trackless Trams (commonly known as Trolley Buses). I travelled on this route (still trolly buses) to school from Sep 1958 until April 1965 |

I must differ on this. In 1934 Bradford Road still had twin tram tracks - source: Ordnance Survey map 1:2,500 edition. |
