Gateshead tram No. 18 - a photo on Flickriver

            An old photograph of Gateshead & District Tramways (GDT) car No. 18 showing a 'Bensham' destination blind. This route (Saltwell Park - Bensham) was converted to buses in Mar 1951.

The photo reverse is initialled with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name "ADP" (A. D. Packer - David Packer).

No. 18 was built as a single deck fully enclosed car by GDT in 1923 seating 48 and running on Brill 39E bogies. It was withdrawn from service in 1951 and sold to British Railways for use on the Grimsby & Immingham Electric Railway, they withdrew it from service when their system closed in 1961.

The parts of the Gateshead & District Tramways, and Grimsby & Immingham Railway, that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closed in Aug 1951 and Jul 1961 respectively.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
