Newcastle Corporation Tramways operated a tramway service in Newcastle upon Tyne between 1901 and 1950.〔The Golden Age of Tramways. Published by Taylor and Francis.〕 ==History== Services began on the 16 December 1901. A fleet of twenty ‘A- Class’ tramcars built in 1901 by Hurst Nelson and Co. Ltd. of Motherwell were used in Newcastle.〔http://beamishtransportonline.co.uk/transport-stocklist/tramway/newcastle-114/〕 The main routes were complete by 1904. Newcastle Corporation built Manors Power Station to supply electricity to the new tramway system. Later extensions were made to Fenham 1907, Shieldfield 1912, and Throckley 1915. Progress was limited during the First World War but the tramway eventually reached Forest Hall, Westmoor, and Gosforth Park in 1921. In 1925 it reached Fenham to Westerhope. There were three depots, Byker, Haymarket and Wingrove. By 1928 there were 300 trams in service. The name was changed in 1915 to Newcastle Corporation Transport and Electricity Undertaking. 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「Newcastle Corporation Tramways」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
