Watching this brings back so many wonderful memories my mum would push me in my pram down kensington on hot summer days in in 1954 to do shopping

Thank you very much for sharing ..Love to see these old movies of place I was born

Fascinating! My Dad used to drive the No.29 route and my Uncle used to be a conducter on the No.19 route. If I got on his tram going to school he'd slip me a halfcrown out of his moneybag! Shhhhhhh.... : D We used to put pennies on the tracks and watch the trams squash them.....all good innocent fun. Happy days. Thanks for posting Scouse Times.

A very worthwhile record of immeasurable value. Thanks to all responsible.

Thank you so much for this movie! I've been to liverpool three times but Ive never imagined that there were tram lines! It's very fascinating news for me! Liverpool is my favourite city... of course after my home town Cracow. Thank you Scouse Times!

Excellent movie! So many memories....

Brilliant. I was born in 1970 so obviously, I don't remember the trams but my dad told me about them. As a city we have lost so much of our rich heritage. Fascinating documentary on a time sadly gone.

So much stuff to look up,it certainly removes you from the present to the past.All the street names just came back to me when i did the 82 Bus run to the Dingle.Damn good idea it was to do this. Roy Hall

This is great thank you, amazing to see how liverpool used to be.

brilliant, my grandad Jack Sumner was one of the last tram drivers on the 40 route, I was hoping that the drivers would have been more visible in the hope that I'd see him again,,,

A brilliant achieve. Fantastic!

Yes very sad to see the trams go They whisked along the central reservations at speed and could move the crowds also sad to see the Liverpool overhead railway go would have been a fantastic tourist attraction now aswell as a good service vehicle

tommey tucker-1959 born, & this is amazin' !2!c!

It was a fantastic place to live in as a boy and teenager.

I remember in the fifties getting a penny return to Kirkby from breck road in the school holidays, so we could go to play in Spinny woods.

I remember the trams, just, came from Garston, up St Marys Rd,there was a tram and busstop,by St Marys Church Hall,the bus stopped a bit further along, so you used to wait inthe middle, for whatever came first.

They should bring them back.

I remember Alf during the rebuild of Green Goddess 869 at Green Lane tram depot. Hard to believe it is 50 years ago.

Thanks very much,loved it.

Thanks for this- excellent!

Much more modern looking trams than London used to run. Apart from the Felthams.
