Launceston Tramway Museum Society Inc.
Launceston Tramway Museum Society Inc.Back in the 1950's trams were looked upon as being the scourge of city streets everywhere. Motor cars were expensive and beyond the resources of the average working man of that era, so public transport was relied upon for transporting people to and from work, and also their social activities. The humble bicycle was then a common mode of transport too. Many a cyclist suffered injuries when the front wheel of their bike fell into the groove of a tramline and lost steering. Relying upon steering for stability usually meant a nose-dive into the tarmac using the nose for a brake.
