Built in 1901, <strong>585<\/strong> was one of the Standard class of tram originally being an open topper before firstly receiving a short top cover and then in 1930 it became a fully enclosed tram (the condition it is in today). It was withdrawn from service in October 1961 and was restored to 1930s condition which included a repaint into the Blue route livery. Initially the plan was that it would be part of the scheme at the Middleton Railway in Leeds but plans changed and instead it joined the Science Museum collection. On display until the end of the 1990s a revamp at the museum meant it was moved to the Science Museum\u2019s storage facility in Wiltshire where it remains to today.<\/p>\n<p>This photo shows <strong>585<\/strong> at the Science Museum on 23rd July 1979 with an Underground vehicle also visible.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17096\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=17096\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17096\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17096\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17096\" title=\"585-kj\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/585-kj-530x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"530\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/585-kj-530x550.jpg 530w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/585-kj-987x1024.jpg 987w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/585-kj.jpg 1184w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Ken Jones<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this edition of Picture in Time we feature a tram which is the last tram to remain in the ownership of the Science Museum \u2013 Glasgow 585.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[35],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17095"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17095"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17095\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17098,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17095\/revisions\/17098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
