The destination of the bus was Leeds Bus Station via Stanningley Road and Armley Road in west Leeds.

It had been diverted from City Square when tram tracks were being lifted.

To the left of Albion Street, the shop fronts with canopies were various departments of the Leeds Industrial Co-operative Society.
