Glasgow Corporation Tramways
Glasgow Corporation Tramways were formerly one of the largest urban tramway systems in Europe. Over 1000 municipally-owned trams served the city of Glasgow, Scotland with over 100 route miles (160 route kilometres) by 1922.〔http://www.semple.biz/glasgow/jubilee1922.shtml〕 The system closed in 1962 and was the last city tramway in Great Britain (prior to the construction of new systems in the 1990s).
==Creation==
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 0-582-20488-7. Page 27.〕 In 1872, the Town Council laid a 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 0-582-20488-7, 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 0-7102-0232-6, Page 22.〕 The Glasgow Tramway and Omnibus Company operated the tram-line and subsequent extensions to the system until 30 June 1894.
In declining to renew the Glasgow Tramway and Omnibus Company operating lease, Glasgow Town Council formed the Glasgow Corporation Tramways and commenced their own municipal tram service on 1 July 1894.
