A version of an old photograph (just 3" x 2") hand *colourised (if you want to use it at least credit me and link to this description please!)by me, of London Transport (LT) E/3 class tram No. 1961 showing '72 - Lee Green? & Westhorne Ave - Beresford Sq' destination indicators. The service transferred from trams to buses on 05/06 Jan 1952, the replacement bus route No. 186 needing 23 buses rather than the 15 trams that had operated it. Modern day google maps street view:- tinyurl.com/ytrb8dc7 Thanks to those who added comments on the location/route details, and a photo taken at the same location 35 years later. The original BnW photo is here:- flic.kr/p/2mdPhj4 There is a copyright stamp on the reverse showing 'Aviation & Transport Photographs', that is (I think) unusual on a 'amateur size' photo that is printed on 'Crown Copyright Reserved' paper which was in common use after WW2 when it was sold off as forces surplus stock. No. 1961 was an ex London County Council Tramways (LCC) unvestibuled E/3 class car built in 1930 by Hurst Nelson seating 28/46 and running on EMB (LCC class 4A) maximum traction trucks. It was built to replace old A and D class cars and work the Kingsway Subway services (after being deepened to allow double deck cars it reopened Jan 1931), as well as its normal destination blinds it had an illuminated sign showing 'via KINGSWAY SUBWAY', when on non subway routes this was covered over. From new it was fitted with two trolley poles and a truck mounted plough carrier for running off overhead or conduit, and in 1931 it went into Charlton Works to have driver/platform vestibules fitted. Its ownership transferred to the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) in 1933 and it worked for them until the parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952. In the November it was handed over to a demolition contractor at Penhall Road Disposal Depot to be broken up. * My coloured images are more sketch or watercolour like than colour transparency or print like. They are an impression of that subject and period, rather than an accurate representation of how the image/subject actually looked when the photo was taken. If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------

The Scottish Vintage Bus Museum is now the acknowledged focal point of historic bus restoration and operation in Scotland and houses, on a 49-acre site, around 170 vehicles. Most of these vehicles are of Scottish origin and are in varying levels of condition, from dilapidated to fully restored. The SVBM is run on a purely voluntary basis. Management is undertaken by the Management Group which consists of the trustees (the museum is a registered charity) plus members whom the trustees consider to be sufficiently committed to the cause. On Sundays, the main 'work-days' at the museum, most of the management group and several regulars normally work at the museum, joined by members who visit on occasion. The place is a hive of industry, with people working on their own buses, helping others, carrying out site maintenance etc. They can also help out with any specific tasks pre-planned by the Management Group. For special occasions, the total membership is contacted with requests for volunteers.
