Summary

Description
English: British Trolleybuses - Cardiff The busiest trolleybus route in Cardiff served the large Ely housing estate. The services were provided in the form of a loop running out via Cowbridge Road and returning via Grand Avenue, or vice versa. The main service operated along Macdonald Road, which can be seen diverging to the left from Grand Avenue at this point. The trolleybus in the picture has come from Green Farm Road. This was an extra loop which was served in one direction only by about one in three of the journeys operating clockwise.

This scene appears to have changed very little in 40 years, although there are now some trees in the reservation of Grand Avenue.
