Edinburgh Trams

An evocative selection of films, much in colour, depicting Edinburgh trams. Most types seen in action, including, ex-cable, Wood Standards, 'Pickerings', experimentals such as 'Red Biddy', Shrubhill Standards and 'Manchesters'. Excellent sequences capture cars at key locations such as, Toll Cross, West End, Princes 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.
