1962: LAST TRAM in Glasgow | Tonight | Retro Transport | BBC Archive

“This far from immaculate veteran is so many tons of whining, rattling, clanging, swaying, pure nostalgia” - Fyfe Robertson.

Fyfe Robertson reports from Glasgow, where the city's iconic Coronation street trams are soon to be discontinued, as the motorbus age shunts aside the rickety old cars. Fyfe takes a sentimental last trip aboard the number 9 tram from Auchenshuggle to Dalmuir West - the sole remaining tram route in the city - and shares some affectionate memories from the tram's glorious heyday.

Originally broadcast 3 September, 1962.
