Crich is the location again for our latest Picture in Time image with the main focus of our attention between Glasgow 1282<\/strong>. It was 1993 when this photo was taken and the scene around the tram is probably as interesting to see as 1282<\/strong> itself.<\/p>\n

But before we look at the scene the tram finds itself in let us take a brief look at Glasgow 1282<\/strong>. Built in 1940 the tram was one of the last Coronation Cars to be built in Glasgow Corporation\u2019s own Coplawhill Works. 1282<\/strong> remained in service for the next 22 years and was included in the official Last Tram procession in 1962 and was also the Last Clydebank Tram before being withdrawn and reserved by the Scottish Tramway Museum Society for preservation (although not as their first choice). A long road journey followed a year later with the tram making the journey to Crich although it was not to enter service until 1978. The next 25 years saw the tram become an integral part of the operational fleet at the home of the National Tramway Museum (with a few years out of use) before 1282<\/strong> was withdrawn in 2003 requiring further workshop attention. A temporary return to the rails occurred in 2012 when it was commissioned for the Glasgow 50 event at Crich in September but since that weekend 1282<\/strong> has returned to static display and can currently be found in the Depot.<\/p>\n

This photo was taken in 1993 \u2013 possibly the October on a return trip from Blackpool \u2013 and shows 1282<\/strong> heading off from Town End on a northbound journey. Of interest in this shot is what isn\u2019t there; on the left there are just hoardings where the Workshop Gallery can now be found whilst on the right construction work is at an early stage on The Red Lion.<\/p>\n
