Sleek, quiet, comfortable, pollution free and fast.
Madness!

Significant that those who complained about 'ugly overhead wires' never complained about the ugly mess of motor vehicles at ground level.

Notice how few cars and busses put there lights on in bad weather

Really nice trolleys, good design, well maintained, clean. Bradford should have kept them. Glasgow's were awful.

Gone but never forgotten. Was it a backwards step?

Thank you very much for the upload.has this film been digitally enhanced ?

[@8mm2digital]

The film will have been digitally enhanced in that the colour was incorrect in some parts with indoor film being used outdoors, and a digital cleaning was given to the film to remove some dust and dirt engrained into the film surface.
