On the left in the foreground we find <strong>OMO 11<\/strong> in the Red and White livery heading southbound (presumably through to Starr Gate but it was at a time when the rear destination blind was kept blank). The OMO still retains a trolley (a pantograph was to follow at the end of the year) and has roof height adverts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11<\/strong> is immediately following loanee tram <strong>Glasgow 1297<\/strong> (loaned from Crich for the Centenary celebrations) which is also heading south whilst coming north is <strong>Coronation 660<\/strong>, apparently on a Promenade Tour. The more eagle eyed amongst you may also notice <strong>Bolton 66<\/strong> in the distance closer to Tower.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26689\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=26689\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26689\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26689\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-26689\" title=\"11+1297+660-ts\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/11+1297+660-ts-550x459.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/11+1297+660-ts-550x459.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/11+1297+660-ts-1024x854.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/11+1297+660-ts.jpg 1227w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-26689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Tony Stevenson<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today as we continue our Picture in Time series we have a photo that really makes you want to find a time machine and travel back in time to experience what is going in person!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,35],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26688"}],"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=26688"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26688\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26691,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26688\/revisions\/26691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
