After nearly a century of service, Londoners say goodbye to the much-loved trams during Last Tram Week in July 1952. The tall, narrow red vehicles are shown making their final journeys through the capital in this charming film shot by an amateur filmmaker. Second half of the film lets us witness the last days of another classic London Transport vehicle - the trolleybus. Having launched in May 1931, the service was withdrawn on 8 May 1962.
