Another way I used them when I worked at Rosses, if I slept in I would go to Alpha St stop get on the tram , then get off at Rosses could be seen, then used the dentist visit as an excuse.r. Cheers a good subject Ron

Re: Liverpool Tramways Routes 1947 Posted by John R on 22/8/2025, 19:35:46, in reply to "Liverpool Tramways Routes 1947" Good photos Ronnie. They provided an excellent service and look how the times have changed and many places have reverted back to trams both here and abroad. They are not quite like the old rattlers though!!

Re: Liverpool Tramways Routes 1947 Posted by Ronnie on 22/8/2025, 20:43:00, in reply to "Re: Liverpool Tramways Routes 1947" Board Owner Cheers, John. A shame that Liverpool rejected the return of the modern system, whereas Manchester took it on - My friends in Mancland love the tramway system.
