Eric, the last trams ran in Aigburth Road on Saturday 6th June 1953. The tram was route 33 which became the 87 bus.
...and the Aigburth Rd. tracks remained a hazard to cyclists well into the 60's....:)Quote:

Bloody potholes everywhere,yer don't get potholes in cobbled roads,the tram tracks could have been panelled over or tarmac in the gap itself....this then means the tracks can be used anytime in the future again.
But its all down to one thing with roads....it keeps the council workforce in employment.
What was in the council office now?....oh I know lets vlindfold eachother and stick a pin in the map and thats where we will dig our holes for the coming month.

Kev I know it was liverpool's last tram but did they keep it or did it go like everthing else to the wreakers
There's pics on here of it being hauled onto a ship for America.
