It arrived in North Wales along with fellow lower section car no. <strong>4<\/strong> in 1902 and entered service in that same year. To be honest the history of all four of the trams is much the same and rather boring as there is no evidence to suggest that any of them have ever operated on the other section and so throughout its career has gone up and down the lower section in a variety of different liveries.<\/p>\n<p>This view of no. <strong>5<\/strong> shows it descending on the lower section with Llandudno Bay seen in the background. The photo was taken on 17th April 1993 but apart from the age of the cars the scene has changed very little today.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15619\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=15619\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15619\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15619\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15619\" title=\"5-rog\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/5-rog-550x356.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/5-rog-550x356.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/5-rog-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/5-rog.jpg 1254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Ralph Oakes-Garnett<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s 1993 and we are in Llandudno for the next instalment of our archive photo series.
