The class was not destined for long-term use and in 1925 <strong>106<\/strong> was one of 21 which were converted into snow brooms, in this case renumbered as <strong>022<\/strong>. It was down to this why the tram survived into preservation with it coming into the care of the London County Council Tramways Trust and they started to restore the car before it was transferred to Crich in 1983. Entering service that same year it has spent most of the time since in service although as would be expected has also spent some time out of use being overhauled in the workshop. Currently it is back in service once again having returned to use in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>This photo was taken on 14th June 1989 and shows <strong>106<\/strong> heading back to the main museum site. <strong>Glasgow 22<\/strong> is just going out of view and judging by the camera on the top deck it seems that another tram may also be heading north.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20936\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=20936\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-20936\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20936\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20936\" title=\"106-kj\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/106-kj-550x361.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/106-kj-550x361.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/106-kj-1024x672.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/106-kj.jpg 1290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-20936\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Ken Jones<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We return to Crich for this edition of Picture in Time for a photo taken back in 1989 of London County Council 106.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8,35],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20935"}],"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=20935"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20938,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20935\/revisions\/20938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
