Got to say there seems to be an overkill on hi-viz jackets and hard hats . . .

That doesn't look like 30mph to me. Barely 30kph.
Besides, 0-30-0mph in 500mtrs??????

Having been brought up in Manchester, what you see in these reports is NOT what my Dad would call trams!

A challenge, for G-C. What was the fleet number of the last tram (16th Nov. 1956)??
I do not know the answer. I am pondering a theory.

The simple answer is 172 as that one was bedecked in lights and ran a ghost service (with no passengers) during the final week in November 1956, and it lead the final procession of 88 and 217 which carried only special ticketholders, but as 217 was the final tram into the garage it could be said to be the last tram.
217 was sent to be scrapped the following day (followed by the rest of the fleet) but 35 was selected for 'preservation' (I don't know whether it still survives) instead of 225. Information gleaned from:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eALRxMGYOq4 Edited to add:- Quote:
