Edinburgh Corporation Transport - Bus services 11, 15, 16 and tram service 28 - leaflet 1956
This is the cover of the leaflet for the combined timetables of Edinburgh bus routes 11, 15 & 16 and Tramway route 28 - and it is of interest in that it is the penultimate stage of tram abandonment in Edinburgh dated 12 September 1956. Tram route 28 would struggle on, with the 23, for another 8 weeks or so until 16 November 1956 when it would all end - except that hopefully in 2011 Edinburgh will have trams back, but not to Morningside!
The 11, 15 & 16 bus services still form the backbone of services to this part of south Edinburgh - and even the northern sections are broadly recognisable today, I do love the full title of the undertaking - "City and Royal Burgh of Edinburgh Transport Department", before it was slimmed down to the more 'snappy' Edinburgh City Transport'!
