Lowestoft Corporation Tramways was the operator of the electric tramway system that served Lowestoft from 22 July 1903 until 8 May 1931.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Light Rail Transit Association - East Anglian Electric Tramways )〕 ==History== A notice was published in the London Gazette on 23 November 1900 stating the intention of Lowestoft Corporation to construct a tram line going from Lowestoft to the old parish of Pakefield, stopping off at places on the way all in the county of East Suffolk.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The London Gazette )〕 The system was built to a gauge of and had a maximum extent of . The buttons〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British Tramway Company Buttons and Badges - Lowestoft Corporation Tramways )〕 and cap badges〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British Tramway Company Buttons and Badges - Lowestoft Corporation Tramways )〕 of Lowestoft Corporation Tramways depicted an angel with a halo and wings holding a shield, containing a crown above a rose, based on the borough coat of arms, illustrated in this (postcard ). In the late 1920s the Corporation decided to replace the trams with motor buses rather than renew the infrastructure. The line was closed in stages, with the section north of the harbour closing in April 1931 and the southern section on 8 May 1931.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lowestoft Corporation Transport 1903-1974 )〕 For several years prior to the closure of the tram system in 1931, the Corporation operated motor buses concurrently with the trams. The first few buses were lettered "Lowestoft Corporation Tramways", but as the fleet grew the lettering was changed to "Lowestoft Corporation Transport". 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「Lowestoft Corporation Tramways」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
