Glasgow tram No. 904 in Aug 1956
An old photograph of Glasgow Corporation Tramways (GCT) car No. 904 showing '3 - Mosspark - Pollokshields' destination blinds.
A version colourised by me is here:-
The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer and/or negative owner name R. B. Parr and the date 9 Aug 1956.
No. 904 was a round dash (open top and unvestibuled) Glasgow 'Standard' yellow route car built as part of 'phase I/1' of its tram building/rebuilding programme in May 1900, the body by the Gloucester Carriage & Wagon Co., its Brill 21E truck and equipment being fitted by GCT at its Coplawhill Works. It received a top cover in c1904 as part of phase II/4 of the car programme, in Nov 1924 got platform/motorman vestibules as part of 'phase 111/2', and in Jun 1934 was rebuilt as fully enclosed as part of 'phase IV' of the standard car programme.
In Jun 1958 it was withdrawn from service and broken up at Coplawhill, the parts of the Glasgow tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closing in Sep 1962.
