Thank goodness no one from Health and Safety is looking at this phot0, just look at the risks and problems. All those people in the middle of the road to get on the tram, the height of those steps off the road, the motor cyclist with no helmet or proper clothing or visor, the car parked on the wrong side of the road and look how near to the kerb that child is standing. As for the motorman having to stand to drive his tram what were the union thinking of? Thank goodness it was not one of the older open balcony trams that those young lads are sitting at the front of....and as for the things that cannot be seen, those steep metal stairs front and back including the ones that come down to where the driver stands. What about those seats that can be moved back and forth so that you can face the direction of travel very dangerous.
On a serious note why do pictures of trams and there are some superb ones throughout this forum look so superior to bus pictures? Judging from the vehicles this is late 40s, early 50s...keep them coming please
