Picture P57a Sandtoft decided that a new loop was required in the overhead wiring
in preparation for constructing a 'bus station' concept, with straight, level boarding to assist passengers, which
will integrate with the planned runway extension. Peter Price splicing the new facing frog into the loop wiring,
which had already been erected. |
Picture P53a View of the same location as Picture 57a but at ground level. |
Picture P65a View from the opposite end with the main line running wire
strained off to the new trailing 'Y' frog.
The completed loop, with its frog from the Workshop line can
also be seen, along with the new segment behind it. |
Picture P66a Both main line wires strung, with Peter halfway round
removing the wires from the hooks and screwing up the ears. |
Picture P69a View from the top of the scissors lift back along the loop wiring from
the workshop trailing frog. This frog is set up with a bias so that reversing through it puts you on the workshop
wires. |
Picture P70a Bruce Lake tightening the last bolt on the 'Y' frog before testing
could begin. The jumper cable is temporary and would be replaced [along with various other tidying up jobs] after
testing. |
Picture P11a As dusk draws in on the 12th July, the three remaining
operational Huddersfield Trolleybuses pose under the new overhead. From the left: 631, a newly
out shopped 619, and 541. |
