This picture on regent Road depicts a 'Eades' reverible tramcar. Over 500 were built for Pendleton between 1877 and 1900. This tramcar was adorned with flags celebrating Queen Victoria's visit to open the Ship Canal in 1894. Notice in the background the sign for an undertakers: a coffin lid!

I remember getting the 'Express' sometimes, it didnt stop at all the stops but went to Leigh straight down the Lancs and was much more comfy!

Thanks to Fr. Norman Price of www.fireflash-delta64.co.uk for the picture from August 1983 of the ex-Salford bus TRJ 112, a Daimler CVG6 new in 1962, and was the last of the open-platform vehicles. driving at the time of this picture was Edward Gray, who purchased the bus from Greater Manchester Transport on its withdrawal in 1975. The bus now forms part of the collection of the Greater Manchester Transport Museum, Boyle Street, Cheetham Hill, and is kept under the care of Kelvin Platt.  Many old Salford photographs can be found in the Edward Gray collection, which appear in the Sutton publication 'Britain In Old Photoraphs - Salford,'
