Doncaster Corporation Tramways was an electric tramway network serving the town of Doncaster, England. Tramway services begun in 1902 and ended in 1928-35. The tramway network was replaced by the Doncaster trolleybus system, which itself was replaced by motor buses in 1963. ==The network== Doncaster Corporation Tramways was a standard gauge network serving the entire Doncaster district, linking the town centre to Old Hexthorpe, Balby and Warmsworth, Oxford Street, Hyde Park, the Racecourse, Avenue Road, Beckett Road, Bentley and Brodsworth. From York Bar to Brodsworth, the tramway ran on a three-mile-long reserved track past Scawthorpe and Woodlands. All trams terminated either at the station or at Trafford Street. One un usual feature of the Doncaster network was the track was centre grooved. Instead of the wheels having a flange on the inside it was in the centre to line up with the groove. Joints in the track were cut diagonally. This made for a much smoother ride over the joint. This rail was also used in Hull. 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「Doncaster Tramway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
