In Pictures: Double destination displays for Edinburgh Trams

265-jh

To demonstrate the new destination boards we feature 265 sitting at York Place. The cab board is much clearer but in this case the driver has yet to flip the board to show Airport as the destination. Similar boards were carried on the first generation trams usually to indicate intermediate points of interest on the route. These boards were known as tram-boards. The practice of attaching boards continued with the replacing buses and they continued to be referred to by the staff as tram-boards. (Photograph by John Hampton)
