Both the Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe and the Verkehrsbetriebe der Stadt Zürich had taken delivery, in the months prior to the article being written, of the first prototypes of a new design of articulated tramcar. The design was a new departure, a double-articulated tram on three trucks. Earlier models of articulated cars had two sections on two or three trucks, or three sections on two or four trucks, but never before three sections on three trucks.

The February 1963 edition of the journal was priced at 2s 6d.

Among a number of articles in the journal was a piece by G. Hyde, The Strange Tale of No. 2.

This No. 2 was Beyer Peacock steam tram engine No. 2. It is shown in the featured image in which it is seen at Beyer Peacock’s works in Gorton, Manchester.

It is a large, coffee-table-sized book with a price tag of £30.00. It is illustrated throughout with high quality contemporary images. The story of the tram in the UK is well written and it seems to me that the author shows a good understanding of the underlying social issues which surrounded public transport throughout the decades of the late 19th, the 20th and the 21st centuries. Oliver Green was Head Curator of the London Transport Museum and now acts in a consultative capacity to a number of transport museums.

The extensions are to Clifton and Toton, and testing has recently started on these routes. So, I reckon these will open later this year.

Feel free to share any thoughts on Nottingham Trams here.
