This bus appears to be carrying the BUT roundel on the front. I have one of these in my collection of badges.

This shot is taken in ‘Gervis Place’ which at the time was a hub for the trolleybuses serving the East of the town. Route 25 passed 3 stations: Central Station and West Station, as seen on the route blind, and also Boscombe. It was always a busy route and the BUTs saw it through to the diesel bus conversion. The bus in this shot is bound for Westbourne. The road layout there made a natural loop around Seamoor Road and Poole Road that was ideal for trolleybus operation, enabling a reversal without having to change direction.
