|  It is not surprising to see so many trams in this picture when one realises that Leicester's relatively small system had 159 cars.  Electrified in 1904 some lines remained open until 1949.  Experiments with 'pay as you enter' started as early as 1914. | Maurice | Monday 4th of February 2013 06:29:42 AM |
