WCT 3, Chubb Street, Wolverhampton, 1968
Wolverhampton Corporation Guy Arab IV No3 with Guy Arab V 104 (7104UK) behind. The buses are in Chubb Street, a former trolleybus terminal point until 1963. Both buses are working former trolleybus routes, although the 9 to Jeffcock Road originally terminated around the corner in Railway Street, when it was a trolleybus service.
New to the Corporation in 1957, SUK3 was withdrawn in 1972 and donated to 'The Young Volunteers', who converted into the Town's first playbus in the winter of 1972/1973. After a long drawn out process of negotiation (in which I was heavily involved), the bus was finally acquired by BaMMOT in 1981. Today it is on display at the Museum, but is only cosmetically restored.
104 was not so fortunate, being withdrawn in April 1974 and sold for scrap in January 1975.
