Birmingham possessed the largest 3'6" gauge tramway in Britain, and the system reached its fullest extent in 1930. The following 23 years saw the tram routes replaced by buses except one major route which was replaced by trolleybuses. The last tram ran in 1953 and Birmingam completed a major bus renewal programme in 1954. Birmingham was the largest provincial municipal bus operator at this tiime, with over 1800 vehicles.

This is a collection of archive film showing Birmingham trams & buses. The footage shows trams in action in the 1930s and in their final form in the post-war era. Historic film of Tennent St.Bus Garage; an early closure is included, and also views of the post-war bus fleet including Midland Red at work on various routes including Rednal, Aston and West Bromwich in the 1950s.

Edinburgh occupies a unique place in the history of British tramways. Horse cars were operated from 1871 - 1907, cable trams (the fifth largest system in the world) from 1888 - 1923, but electric trams did not arrive until 1922 except for a line in Musselburgh (1904), Leith, then an independent burgh (1905), and a short line to Slateford (1910). Extensions were built until 1937 and new trams emerged from Shrubhill works until 1950. The first service was replaced by buses in 1950, with the last trams operating on 16th November, 1956.

Here we have an evocative selection of films (much in colour), depicting the Edinburgh trams. Most types seen in action - ex-cable, Wood Standards, 'Pickerings', experimentals including 'Red Biddy', Shrubhill Standards, and 'Manchesters'. Excellent sequences capture cars at key locations - Tollcross, West End, Princess Street, The Mound, The Bridges, Leith Street and Leith Walk. Detailed route coverage begins in 1954 with scenes on Seafield Road, along the main trunk route to Corstorphine with trams at the West End, Haymarket, the Zoo and in splendid isolation at The Maybury.

At Levenhall, trams are seen on the single track section including 'tattie' loop, at the busy King's Road junction, and loading at Waterloo Place. 1955 concentrates upon the heavily used Colinton route with its two stretches of single track and tightly-angled S-bends. In 1956, the final year of operation, the dapper madder and white trams tackle many steep grades including Liberton, Fairmilehead, Hanover Street and The Mound. They pass smartly through the salubrious south-side suburbs of Churchill, Marchmont and Morningside, whilst in the north, they weave through the docks and port of Leith, pass shunting steam locomotives, enter the quaint fishing village of Newhaven and along the narrow coast road to Granton. Many aspects of the former Leith system are fully documented - the superb ornate poles, Bernard Street swing bridge and Trinity tram pinch. Coverage concludes with views, especially in the Old Town, of the last two routes - the 23 and 28.

Special features:- Trams and rugby crowds at Murrayfield in 1936 and 1954; Interior scenes at Shrubhill and Tollcross; Edinburgh's famous parcels service; A spectacular re-wiring; A works tram in action; Last week activity including the decorated car 172, final night scenes and the one that got away

Originally filmed on 8mm, 9.5mm and 16mm film.

In 1962, savour Coronations and Cunarders first in fog, snow and ice on the semi-rural line to Baillieston (15); coping with the crowds of dockers and shipyard workers (26) and finally eking out their last days on the 12 mile cross city Auchenshuggle-Dalmuir West (0) with scenes at Bridgeton Cross, Glasgow Cross, the "Hielanman's Umbrella, Partick, Yoker, John Browns at Clydebank and the canal bridge at Dalmuir.
