Part 1 is film of the Glasgow trams taking part and part 2 is film of the other trams in use on that day. Part 3 includes archive film of Glasgow trams at Crich plus film of Glasgow tram 1017 at Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life. Also included is a slide show of other Glasgow trams preserved in museums plus some archive views taken in August 1962 just before the closure of the system.
What a pity they couldn't have a tram museum in Glasgow. Brings back such great memories going to school on a glesca tram!
I know they have the museum of transport but a place like crich would be fab.
We've got the museum of transport but imagine being able to take a ride on an old tram like they have at crich. I've been on the one at summerlee which was great.
Magnificent! Thank-you!
Thank you very much.
@@bobhodgestransportDVDs very welcome!
how do they switch tracks w/o a guy pulling a lever,,must be they have a switch house somwhere,,,nice video
The tracks and wires are set for a default direction, however if a driver turns his power off then on again on the approach it operates a relay to set the points in the other direction. The points reset once the tram has passed over.
where is this
Most of this video was filmed at the National Tramway Museum, at Crich in Derbyshire, there is also a short section filmed at the Industrial Museum at Coatbridge in Lanarkshire.
@@bobhodgestransportDVDs How do you pronounce ''Crich' as it appears? CRITCH ? Only I've heard BBC staff call it CREECH ?
@@MrDaiseymay It is pronounced 'Crych', hope that this is helpful.
