Compulsory stops (was: Kingsway Tram Subway open to ...)

Birmingham certainly used to have that distinction, but since I no longer live in the city I can't check right now. Ian Jelf might be able to tell us if he's around ?. Back in the 1950s the East Kent had compulsory and request stops. If you rang the bell before a compulsory stop, the driver was liable to take it as a "Don't Stop" signal and carry on past. One of the few occasions when a fusilade of bells was needed to correct the error by the passenger. On the other hand, I don't think that Red & White or Bristol Tramways had any compulsory stops. -- Terry Harper, Web Co-ordinator, The Omnibus Society 75th Anniversary 2004, see http://www.omnibussoc.org/75th.htm E-mail: URL: http://www.terry.harper.btinternet.co.uk/ |
