Description: | This is a souvenir tram ticket. It was issued by London Transport for the last tram week. The last old-generation trams ran on the night of 5 July 1952. A set of these tickets was specially printed for issue on the remaining routes. These included routes 36, 38, 40, 44, 46 and 72. They passed through Woolwich and New Cross to the Embankment and City.
On the backs of the tickets are images of the first trial horse-drawn tram of 1861, and the type of double-decker in use at the end. These tickets were collected and saved by many Londoners as souvenirs.
A new generation of trams in London, the Croydon Tramlink system, opened in 2000. There are proposals under consideration for further new lines. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1952 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
