    Which city has RHD yellow trolley buses

    One of my hobbies is working out where ads are made. Eg most of the Tic Tac ads are unsurprisingly made in Spain

    The most recent puzzler is the current Kia ad where a bloke walks along a street and talks about himself in a Aussie accent.

    BUT in the background are a few RHD yellow modern looking Trolley Buses.

    Which city , presumably in the UK has RHD yellow trolley buses?
    I also presume the Aussie accent is dubbed .
    Regards Philip A

    Hmmmm, the actual buses look like the ones in Sao Paulo or Lyon, but they are LHD.
    Maybe they mirror imaged the shot.

    Check for number plates and if they are reversible, particularly letter combinations using "A", "M", "I", "O", "T", "E", "Y", "W", "X" and number combinations using "1", "3" (reversed "E"), "8" and "0" and if you can read the numbers on the bus or they have been pixelated.

    Then you'll know if it's Europe or Sao Paulo.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Beat me to it...
    In newspapers, we sometimes reversed a pic, usually for 'artistic appeal' but on some occasions I suspect deception.
    Was always funny to see things such as watches on wrong side, jackets done up 'other way' , shirt-buttons on blokes / girls etc. I used to blur the number-plates if that was going to be a give-away.
    Best was the subject who wore a LEFTY watch on the Right wrist. Picture Editor could'nt understand... and took a lot of convincing.

    My pet hate is when only some of the dialogue is dubbed, leaving the less-obvious (?) accent intact. Very cheap. Usually on beauty products, where I suppose the target audience is lacking intelligence & discernment.

    Windy Wellington has a pretty good bus network, with electric trolley buses and the more usual internal combustion engined motor omnibus.

    I was told that the trolley buses have batteries and can motor around accidents, stoppages or power outages etc, but cannot go very far before spitting the biscuit.
