This smart B.U.T. trolleybus was new to St. Helens Corporation in 01/1951. On passing to Bradford Corporation, who were the last operator's of trolleybuses in Great Britain, in 1958, its East Lancs body was rebuilt by Charles H. Roe. It was withdrawn by Bradford in 1971. It is seen here inside the The North West Museum of Road Transport, St. Helens, which is a former St. Helens Corporation Bus Depot, on 16/10/2022. © Peter Steel 2022.

Huddersfield bought twenty-four of these East Lancs bodied B.U.Ts, this being the last that arrived, in 01/1957, although it was the first in the batch of twelve numerically; 619-30, KVH219 etc., The first to arrive were 626-8, in 07/1956, some six months earlier! Now at the great Trolleybus Museum at Sandtoft, it is seen here much nearer it's former home when attending a transport rally at Keighley, in 06/2001.
