Photos from London Transport Executive (LTE) Postcard: London tram line 26 with bilevel rail car 1763 on Albert Embankment (1949) An American visitor took this rare colour photo of a London E/1 type tram making its way along the Albert Embankment in 1949. Three years later, trams had ceased to run in the capital, Happily, car No. 1025 of the same type can still be seen in the London Transport Museum at Covent Garden, and No 1622 is being restored by the LCC Tramway Trust.

Postcard: London tram line 68 near Greenwich Church (1949) This 1949 view was taken at Greewich Church, the terminus of route 70 from London Bridge, and route 68 from Waterloo.
Both ran via Surrey Docks and the lifting-bridge at Deptfort. Over 1000 of the E and E/1 trams were built for LCC from 1906 to 1921, and London Transport 'rehabilitated' 146 of them in 1935/6, fitting upholstered seats, windscreens, ets. By Henrik Boye, Mumbles Railway, W. E. Robertson -

Postcard: London tram line 34 with bilevel rail car 1395 on Gresham Road, Brixton (1950) London trams picked up electric current in two different ways: from a live wire overhead, or from live rails beneath the road.
Was a point at which they changed from one system to the other. No. 1395 is seen leaving on overhead, after its 'plough' - the pich-up device which ran in a slot between the rails - had been detached here. By Henrik Boye, Mumbles Railway, W. E. Robertson -
