Glasgow Tramway and Omnibus Company
The Glasgow Tramway and Omnibus Company operated an horse-drawn tramway service in Glasgow between 1872 and 1894.〔The Golden Age of Tramways. Published by Taylor and Francis.〕 The tram system was then taken into municipal ownership, becoming Glasgow Corporation Tramways.
==History==
The Glasgow Street Tramways Act was enacted by Parliament in 1870. This legislation allowed Glasgow Town Council to decide whether or not to have tramways within Glasgow.〔Brash, Ronald W. (1971). ''Glasgow in the Tramway Ages'', Longman, ISBN 0582204887. Page 27.〕 In 1872, the Town Council laid a 2½-mile route from St George's Cross to Eglinton Toll (via New City Road, Cambridge Street, Sauchiehall Street, Renfield Street and the Jamaica Bridge).
The Tramways Act prohibited the Town Council from directly operating a tram service over the lines. The act further stipulated that a private company be given the operating lease of the tram-lines for a period of 22 years.〔Brash, Ronald W. (1971). ''Glasgow in the Tramway Ages'', Longman, 1971, ISBN 0582204887, Page 28.〕 The St George's Cross to Eglinton Toll tram line was opened on 19 August 1872 with a horse-drawn service by the Glasgow Tramway and Omnibus Company.〔Klapper, Charles Frederick (1984). ''The Golden Age of Buses'', Routledge, ISBN 0710202326, Page 22.〕
The company expanded in 1893 by leasing the Glasgow and Ibrox Tramway and the Vale of Clyde Tramway.
