Lemmy117 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Given that the two trams in the picture are 510 and 513 in decorated liveries, this would have been on one of the special tours organised in the last few weeks before the system closed. Where they went from here is anyone's guess, the tours covered what track was left and included reversing at various points. Nigel L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madannie77 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Angel Street was originally double tracked and was used for most of the tramway's existence for the Fulwood to Malin Bridge and Ecclesall to Middlewood routes, as well as journeys to and from Tenter Street depot. After the two routes were closed (in 1951 and 1954 respectively) the track was singled and put in a central reservation as seen in the photo. The tour pictured was possibly the Light Rail Transit Association tour of 2nd October 1960. This covered the last route, from Beauchief to Vulcan Road and covered as much of the remaining track as possible. Apparently the tour passed through Fitzalan Square nine times.

kidneystone Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Here is a great site for going back in time. You can change the size of the spy glass, move it about, move the map about. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/spy/index.cfm#zoom=17&lat=53.38263&lon=-1.46640&layers=168&b=1&r=41 g 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
