Climbing New Bank, Halifax â 1978 -1

On the Trans Pennine Run for commercial vehicles, which is the northern complement to the London to Brighton run for similar vehicles. This is a Sentinel S8 steam lorry, the sole survivor of just 9 of the type built, dating from 1933. The S series was the final flowering of steam road vehicles, with performance at least the match of diesel lorries of the time, although the latter were improving rapidly and were cheaper and easier to run. The road layout has changed significantly since 1978 with only westbound traffic using the viaduct Link

Climbing New Bank, Halifax â 1978 -2

On the Trans Pennine Run for commercial vehicles, which is the northern complement to the London to Brighton run for similar vehicles. The word 'unique' is often misused, but does apply to this bus, as it was the only double-deck bus built by the Preston firm Atkinson, much better known for their lorry production. It was built in 1954 for the Stalybridge, Hyde, Mossley and Dukinfield Transport and Electricity Board, generally known as the SHMD Joint Board, with bodywork by Northern Counties of Wigan. It was unusual in having a central entrance which was a peculiarity of the operator. The bus behind is also of interest. It is one of a small number of buses built by AEC to London Transport's RT specification for operators other than London Transport itself, in this case St Helens Corporation. The road layout has changed significantly since 1978 with only westbound traffic using the viaduct Link This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link

Skircoat Road, Halifax

This is a revisit to the first geograph for the square SE0924 : Skircoat Road, taken in January 2005. The bus lane now has parking places in it and there are parking meters. This is presumably to raise money from the football fans attending matches at The Shay.
