Sheffield Tram No. 74 was built originally as an open top tram, and then it was enclosed to create an enclosed double-decker with open platforms and staircases. A unique tram. I'm not surprised that the Conductor used their whistle at the beginning rather than the bell, as it is in a very awkward position which is just next to the handbrake (the lever the driver was using in the video) and hard to get to. I know this because I am a Conductor on the trams and have been on 74 quite a bit! :)
