Ayr tram No. 22 @ Prestwick Cross - a photo on Flickriver

An old photograph of Ayr Corporation Tramways (ACT) tram No. 22 at Prestwick Cross Terminus, showing a 'Burns Monument' destination blind. The sloped part was to stop people riding on the bumpers!

The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name of Dr. H. A. Whitcombe, and annotated with the year 1929.

No. 22 was built by Hurst Nelson in 1913 as an open top car with extended canopies seating 22/39, running on a 4-wheel Hurst Nelson solid forged truck, going into service in the June ready for the opening of the racecourse branch in the August. It was fitted with a top cover in 1920, post 1926 received platform vestibules/screens, and in 1931 was reconditioned with its truck replaced by a 4-wheel Brill 79 E2. It was withdrawn from passenger service, and scrapped when the parts of the Ayr tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closed on the 31 Dec 1931.

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