Cardiff tram No. 124 @ Clare Rd. Depot

            An old photograph of Cardiff Corporation Tramways (CCT) tram No. 124 on the Clare Road Depot forecourt, showing a 'Depot Only' destination blind. In 1934 'Cardiff Corporation Tramways' was renamed 'Cardiff Corporation Transport'.

The photo reverse shows that the negative belongs to the 'A. D. Packer Collection'.

No. 124 was a single deck car built in 1904 by Milnes seating 40 and running on Brush maximum traction bogies. In Oct 1936 this and other cars were offered for sale, there being no offers they were put into storage. The cars were offered for sale again in Aug 1939, this time an offer for eighteen cars was accepted from the 'Para Electric Railway' in Belem, Brazil. They were sent from Roath Depot in Apr 1940, and worked in Belem until Apr 1947 when that system closed.

The parts of the Cardiff tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jan 1950.

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