Its 1989 to be precise when this photo was captured of Sunderland 100<\/strong> passing a car and a bus which are parked in the layby on the way down to Town End. This was during the relatively short period after restoration that the tram would be seen running as Sunderland 100<\/strong> in the standard Sunderland livery of red and white. Of course, ahead of it heading to the Gateshead Garden Festival in 1990 it would be sponsored by British Steel which would lead to its red and white becoming blue and white with advertising for the company. When returning to Crich it would become Metropolitan Electric Tramways 331<\/strong> again \u2013 its original identity when first built.<\/p>\n Southampton 45<\/strong> is following the tram along the line.
