Now Jenny mentioned trams! That brings back a few memories! My mother had relatives in Sheffield, and we as children used to love travelling on the trams, but we also used to love watching the cars and bikes getting their wheels stuck in the tramlines, and wondering if they'd be able to avoid the tram bearing down on them at speed! What fun we had as children.....
When I was growing up in Cardiff, in South Wales, we had trolley buses, and they had the *arms* attaching themselves to the cables strung along the streets, but they also had the tramlines too, so life was one round of pleasure when we were children, waiting for all these disasters which didn't happen! But - we visited Beamish Rural Life Museum several years ago, where they have trams - and I am sure that the one we travelled on was one that I had travelled on as a child in Sheffield, as it was using a Sheffield destination board! I even stepped on the bell mechanism, just as we used to do as children, to see if it still worked. It did - much to the resignation of the driver/conductor!
