stronghold, are you sure this is a trolleybus? I know it appears to have poles in the thumbnail, but it appears to have a half-cab, which would be unusual in a trolleybus :??:

Bradford BCT (autobus, pas trolleybus):

j'hésite mais préconise: AEC 9613E MarkIII/East Lancashire de 1952-1953 (série 66 à 105, HKW 66/105)

There is a trolleybus in this scene, but the main screenshot here is a motorbus. You don't see enough of it to identify it, though. The second shot is the trolleybus and you can see the poles

Possible pour le trolleybus, SteveA !
On ne voit pas l'avant, de fait, et en observant les 2 clichès, que j'ai un peu vite "mariés"( caisses presque identiques, avec accès à l'avant) on constate que la publicité n'est effectivement pas la même!

This is certainly Bradford, Yorkshire. The main picture is one of the rare Gardner-engined AEC Regent half cab motor buses, the smaller picture is a trolleybus, one of many either new to Bradford or bought second hand that were rebodied with forward entrance bodies, Several survive in preservation, as does one of the AEC's.
