Thanks Terry - as you say fascinating - especially for me as I own a (much_ _ _) later preserved ex-Hastings bus. Picked our the Memorial and Cambridge/Bohemia Roads, but the rest's a bit of a mystery_ _ _

Looked like there was bits of Robertson Street and the Ridge in there too. The trolleybuses replaced the trams, yet they still dig up old tram tracks today. The trams weren't very popular in Hastings, partly because some people thought the overhead wires were unsightly, but the trolleybuses were welcomed despite needing twice as many wires!
