And if you thought the letter J was a bit of a struggle to find something for we had even more trouble with the letter K!
In the end the only thing related to a tramway in the British Isles we could come up was the Croydon Tramlink KLV which is now in use at the Crich Tramway Village. Built in 1978 for Deutsche Bahn it was constructed as a general maintenance works vehicle for the German railways and it wasn’t anyway connected to tramways until 2006 when Croydon Tramlink purchased two of the KLV 53 class for use as works vehicles there – three trailers were also obtained at the same time. 058 and trailer 061 arrived at Crich in 2010 having been deemed surplus to requirements by Transport for London.
Whilst acquired by Crich to be used as a works vehicle, during special event the KLV often makes it out onto the mainline and a small number of passengers are able to be carried. This was on one such occasion with 058 (minus its trailer) passes Victoria Park when heading north. (Photograph by Gareth Prior, 1st September 2018)
Could have gone for Kingston-upon-Hull – but a bit obscure?
Not in regard to Trams… The trams were always “City of Hull Tramways” then “Hull Corporation Tramways”. The “Kingston-Upon-Hull Corporation Transport” fleet name first appeared on Trolley buses with the Blue & White livery which was never applied to Trams.
