Škoda 9Tr Trolejbus nr 125 at Dům Obuvy - House of Shoes, Zlín. Feb 1992
Skoda 9Tr no 125 bound for the Sport Hall on Route 5. In the background the new estates of Jižní Svahy which are served by the trolleybuses.
Taken on Kodak 64 slide film, using a compact 35mm Olympus XA camera.
These rather old-fashioned looking vehicles were quite common in the early 1990s but now they are only kept as museum pieces in a few cities, e.g. Pardubice, Ostrave. However, they still operate in countries such as Georgia and Ukraine. Several of the Zlin vehicles,probably including this one were sold to Pazardžik in Bulgaria, where they were still operating in 2006. Jihlave no 11 was the last 9Tr operating regularly in the Czech Republic, only being withdrawn on 30 May 1997.
Route 5 has also been withdrawn subsequent to this picture: at that time it connected Sportovní hala with Bartošova čtvrť.
The Bat'a name has been added to the shoe shop behind.
