I'm still really struggling to match the bus scene with anything on Dewsbury Road, and the last location you suggest seems harder to fit.The problem would be that the bus stop layby you see on the film clip would actually take away half of the pavement outside these shopshttp://g.co/maps/rc8bnThe bus would be stopping about 4' away from the shop doors wouldn't it? Plus there is no pedestrian crossing on the film clip, or any clues a parade of shops exist just out of the film clip shot on the left either. Plus those trees and shrubs seem to extend further up the road where the shops would be, that is if your going by the kerb stone marking the corner of Burton Avenue.

It's hard I know Phil as one who was there trying to persuade one who was not that I've seen a ghost.The area from the film has changed a lot over the years ,that plus crappy camera work makes it hard I know to fit it in.Billy is convinced it's Moor rd junction but the library and police station are missing as are the bank boundary end and fence which was very high to stop rugby balls from the all weather pitch ending up on Dewsbury Rd. I'm convinced it's somewhere else but You cannot square it with Your map. So unless the cameraman Himself turns up with an answer I guess we'll never know.

I mean even the levels look totally wrong, I fully understand about camera trickery and optical illusion effects, But at best the film clip, if your feeling generous could be described as on the flat (at best) But everyway I look it looks to be going uphill, yet the Google Street view of your location is clearly running down hill.I can't fathom out how you can film the interior of a bus ceiling when the bus is running downhill. How can you do that? The bus ceiling can't be visible from that angle? Surely you'd be able to see more of the top of the bus roof if it were running downhill, and not the underside of the interior ceiling?

If you look behind the red single decker you can see the pedestrian lights where the parade of shops are. The person in red on the left would be stood roughly where the ginnel is next to where the hand car wash is now. If there were trees and or bushes in St Peters yard that would also make sense.

Here is proof there were trees in St Peters yard.

But not the lack of banking library or police station or for that matter the moor road traffic lights.As for trees at St peters I don't honestly recall them even though I attended as a Child. EDIT Trees conceded!

Here's a picture of a bus going up the same stretch of road.The angle of the roof and interior ceiling are totally different. No amount of optical illusion can cause that effect, clearly the two buses cannot be pictured on the same stretch of road surely?

"The angle of the roof and interior ceiling are totally different"As are the cameras that shot them. One hand held 5 feet above ground level the other on top of a car above the height of that single decker by the LOOK of it .
