Single decker bus driving along the tram lines! Interesting to see the tram tracks do not follow the curve of the road, but have shorter, tighter curves to keep on course. The driver of the bus is following a line of drive that relates to the kerb rather than the tram tracks. The things we see! Did he (the driver and we can be 100% certain it was a he in those days) even know he was doing this? ... and if he did, he certainly did not know it would be commented on some 67 years later!
