When I was a pupil at Heaton High School 1944-1949 I travelled by tram down Heaton Road to its junction with Stephenson Road after travelling by trolley bus from Walker. So the trams were in use until at least July 1949. Mildred Robson. ----------------- To add a bit more, the last Newcastle trams were withdrawn on the 4th. March 1950 from the Wrekenton services. And Gateshead followed on the 4th. August 1951, when Tyneside had no trams. -- John Gallon, Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne [email protected] http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~littleblobby/ http://www.freewebs.com/littleblobby/
