TRAMS BACK IN THE DAY

THE OLD LONDON TRAMS BACK IN THE DAY OVERHEAD CABLES HAD GONE

[peege]

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

Yes my Wife used to take the boy to Croydon to see the Trams

[peege in reply to Eastend555]

I used to catch it from Wimbledon to Morden Park stop for the fabulous walks & café, also to the Ikea stop

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🤗

[peege in reply to sassy59]

Ooo did Pete go to school there?

[sassy59 in reply to peege]

No peege Pete went to Kenyngton Manor infants and junior school in Sunbury-on-Thames. We both went to Kenyngton Manor senior school and that’s where we first met. Pete used to go to Hounslow shopping with his parents. Xxx😘💜

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!

[Hidden in reply to Lyd12]

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!

[Lyd12 in reply to Hidden]

We got married in 1956 Don, fair time ago! They were so noisy and rocked about. Trolley buses were quieter.

[Hidden in reply to Lyd12]

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.

[Alberta56]

Ah nostalgia. Trams didn't come out to Southgate (my home), but the trolley buses came quite close.
