Portobello
I bought this badge a few years ago from an
antique fair in Edinburgh. I found it to be an appealing bit of history
from Edinburgh Tramways.
Later, Edinburgh Tramways became part of
Edinburgh Corporation Transport Dept
which became
Lothian Region Transport,
then Lothian Buses,
now part of Transport for Edinburgh,
again running both trams and buses!
The badge is about 3.25 inch diameter. The
tramcar is heavily embossed.
