I reckon the Sheffield double-deckers were among the handsomest trams that ever ran in Britain. I was lucky enough to get a few rides in the last year, 1960. Unforgettable! Many thanks for posting.
And to think that big French towns who got rid of their trams are now installing them again (better for pollution, noise, car parking on the outskirts....)
Have you any footage on Leeds trams or better still 1940s footage of the Leeds-Wakefield line.
Why didn't I buy this when I could have?
Now Nova are bust and gone and I can't bloody well get this anywhere!

What year was this? At least for the last 16 years Sheffield has had trams again. Lets hope the stupidity of ripping up the tracks is never repeated.
