The last
horse tram in Leith ran on 2 November 1905.
The first
electric tram ran on 18 August 1905.
Passenger
travelling on the two mile journey from Edinburgh to Leith had to change
trams half way at Pilrig, because Edinburgh's cable system and Leith's
electric system were not compatible with each other.
It was not
until around 1920 that it became possible to complete this journey on a
single tram. |
