On the 1st of January 1952 London still had some 300 trams operating, but within 6 months these remnants of the capital's once vast system had been swept away. This DVD includes an evocative selection of films depicting London trams during their final months of operation and detailed coverage of Operation Tramaway.
Trams are seen amongst the buses on the Embankment, at Southwark Bridge, along the Old Kent Road, at New Cross, in the suburbs from Lewisham, Woolwich and mingling with the trolleybuses out to Abbey Wood. Last day activity includes colour sequences and the final ceremony at New Cross depot.
