Excellent. I remember going with my parents, some time in the 50s, to see the last tram leave Streatham High Road.

I believe the second film was originally aired as part of a series called perpetual motion featuring cars planes trams etc that had stood the test of time and were still in use I’m not sure but I think the films looked at as well as this one the Route master bus the Morris 1000 and the Avro Shackleton as well as many others I’m sure I taped them and most likely still have the tape but at the moment have no VCR to play it on.
