HANOI, VIETNAM - Frank Bagshaw

As part of his latest visit to the Far East Frank had a few days in Hanoi.

In a Hanoi museum was this photo of a more modern tram.

Found in the Hanoi Metropole hotel - a photo of an early Hanoi tram - presumably of French origin.

MORE HONG KONG DECEMBER 2017 - Frank Bagshaw

Frank Bagshaw has returned from Hong Kong, here are some more photos:
When I arrived at Whitty St depot, I was anxious to look over the tram. Found the controller with key in, only the breaker not switched on!

Whilst in Hong Kong, Frank hired party tram 128 for a group of friends. Food and drink served on board and a trip to Causeway bay and back
Pre-made front ends for use in repairs/rebuilding Hong Kong trams
Here is the Green party tram, also available for hire. It was in use the same day.
