Aberdeen Corporation Tramways formerly served the City of Aberdeen, Scotland. ==The system== The city's tram system was the most northerly municipal tramway in the United Kingdom. The system was electrified, with trams using the standard trolley poles until 1935 when bow collectors were fitted to take power from the overhead wires. The trams were double deck and painted in a dark green and cream livery, often with the words "CORPORATION TRANSPORT" painted prominently on the sides. In the late 1930s the city purchased 18 trams from Nottingham Corporation Tramways, which closed in 1936. Further secondhand trams were later obtained from Manchester. The last new trams for the city were built by R Y Pickering of Wishaw in 1949. The city's best known service was route 1, from Bridge of Don to Bridge of Dee. The city's last tram operated on 3 May 1958, being replaced by diesel buses. The tram system was supported by 14 bus routes numbered No. 4, No. 8 and No. 11 through to No. 22, No. 4 being an extension of the No. 4 tram route. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aberdeen Corporation Tramways」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
