Glasgow trams passing 'The Star Bar'

An old photograph taken by 'The Star Bar' (Eglinton St is on the left and Pollokshaws Rd on the right) of Glasgow Corporation Tramways (GCT) cars No. 90 (left) showing '25 - Springburn - Castle Street' and No. 72 showing '5 - Holmlea Rd - Battlefield' destination blinds.

I did think that this could be 60 rather than 90 but 'The Glasgow Tramcar' by Ian Stewart has 60 as being cut down to a single decker for use on the Clydebank - Duntocher route.

The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name of R. B. Parr and the date 18 Apr 1957.

Nos. 90 and 72 were hex dash (top covered and unvestibuled) Glasgow 'Standard' cars built by GCT at Coplawhill in January and August 1920 respectively as part of 'phase III' of its tram building/rebuilding programme, they seated 24/38 and ran on a 4 wheel Brill/Brush 21E truck. In June and April 1929 they were rebuilt as fully enclosed as part of 'phase IV' of the standard car programme keeping their original trucks.

They were withdrawn from service in Feb 1959 and Oct 1960 both being broken up back at Coplawhill. The parts of the Glasgow tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Sep 1962.

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

Any photograph, ephemera, etc I post on Flickr is in my possession, nothing is copied from another location. The original photographer may have taken copies from their original negative and passed them out (sold them?) so there may be other copies out there of your (and my) 'original' transport photo, although occasionally there may be 'holiday snaps' type photos where there are not any other photos exactly the same in existence.

If you wish to use this image (bearing in mind it may not be my copyright) or obtain a full size version (most of my uploads are small size) please contact me.
