Sand

Yesterday we had enough crews to operate 3 trams. I was conductor on Rack 2 which disgraced itself by completely emptying one sand hopper at Glory Mine on its third trip of the day. I then did one trip on Berlin 3006 whilst Mike, the driver, and the engineers checked and refilled the sander.

Chesterfield 7 with a trainee driver.

I thought this was a typical 1940s bus but I was let into its dark secret. It is an Eastern bodied Bristol LWL6B new to Thames Valley as recently as 1952.

The third service tram was Glasgow 812 seen here at 5:00 pm waiting to go to the depot.
