We have a multitude of trams and buses at the Summerlee Museum for this latest look at \u201cTrams &\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a commemoration in 2012 of the 50th anniversary of the closure of Glasgow Corporation Tramways members of the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust bought a selection of their vehicles to Summerlee enabling some stunning line-ups of trams alongside these buses and other ancillary vehicles.<\/p>\n

In this first image we see resident trams Glasgow 1017<\/strong> and Lanarkshire 53<\/strong> flanking the other vehicles on the curve outside the tram depot. On the right next to Lanarkshire 53<\/strong> is Leyland Titan PD2\/10 registration number GM 6384 which was introduced into service in October 1954 and would remain in service until December 1980 before joining the Trust in 2004. Next in the line-up is a Glasgow tow-truck which started off life in 1938 as an AEC Regent 0661 and would continue to be a passenger vehicle until 1961 when it was converted to a tow truck. It was fully preserved from 2006. The line-up is completed by open top Glasgow Corporation Leyland Titan PD2\/24 (registration number FYS 8) which dates from 1959 and entered preservation (for the third time!) in 2006.<\/p>\n
