LT tram No. 1212 in Tooting
An old undated photograph of *London Transport (LT) tram No. 1212, and an unidentified trolleybus, in Garratt Lane, Tooting. No 1212 is showing a service 10 'Tooting Bdwy' destination blind, the only thing I can make out on the trolleybus is that it is on service 630.
No. 1212 was a class E/1 ex *London County Council Tramways (LCC) tram built in 1908 by Hurst Nelson seating 32/46 and running on Heenan & Froude maximum traction trucks, E/1 cars were equipped with both trolleypoles and truck mounted plough carriers to enable them to operate on conduit and overhead powered sections of the system. Sometime between 1926-30 it was 'pullmanised' which gave it a modernised interior and a new red/cream livery but cut the seating to 25/46, in Jun 1936 it underwent 'standard reconditioning' and received driver vestibule screens. It then remained in service until Jan 1952 when it was withdrawn from service and sent to Penhall Road Works to be disposed of (broken up or sold).
The LT trolleybus looks like (I think) a D3 class with a Leyland chassis and Birmingham Railway Carriage Co. body seating dd-70-r. It was built in approximate;y 1937 and would have been withdrawn in the late 1950's.
The parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952.
* The London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) absorbed the local London tramway companies (such as LCC) in 1933 and in turn was replaced in 1948 by the London Transport Executive (LTE), from 1933 the usual operating name used was London Transport (LT).
Tram service 10 'Southwark Bridge to Clapham & Tooting' was replaced by bus route 95 in Jan 1951.
