TRAMS BACK IN THE DAY
I remember West London trolley buses as a small child. More recently I lived in Wimbledon for twenty years and the latter few trams southward were introduced
A wonderful photo. I do love to see them. My mum was a Londoner and would have remembered the trams. Pete remembers trolley buses in Hounslow. Xxx🤗
Ooo did Pete go to school there?
Thank you for sharing this wonderful photo, I love looking at the old photos. Have a lovely day and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx
I remember trams well, fascinated by the driving mechanism and clanking noises as a child. Had to go into the road to get on one, dangerous!
I remember riding the double-decker trams in Liverpool and assumed that it must have been many many years ago. But a quick Google reveals that the last tram ran in 1957 so it wasn't all that long ago after all!
We got married in 1956 Don, fair time ago! They were so noisy and rocked about. Trolley buses were quieter.
They certainly were which is why I thought WW2 would finished the trams off especially since Liverpool got such a hammering in the aid-raids. But no, they survived two world wars.
I went to school in Birmingham on the tram every day. Used to love the open bit at the front.
Ah nostalgia. Trams didn't come out to Southgate (my home), but the trolley buses came quite close.
I love looking at the old photos, dont remember these old trams in Manchester and was young when the trolley buses finished x
What a great old photo x
I can remember Hastings had them.
