The Auld Tram
Dundee 2 was constructed by the Milnes Company in Birkenhead during the late 19th century and after ending its service days when the Dundee tram system was electrified the body was sold on for re-use. The car was later rescued but sustained severe fire damage to the top deck whilst in storage; however the remaining portion of the lower saloon was eventually cosmetically restored by members of the Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society and was later transported back home to Dundee.
The tram was then moved to Nottingham where it was modified to suit its new role as a street cafe at a cost of around £45,000. The original tram seating was re-used to create a suitable work area and the end platforms and dash panels were also recreated, whilst wooden boarding was added to disguise the roof line. I remember distinctly the green and cream colour of the Dundee transport system, (now all the buses are different colours), but I wouldn't have ridden on this tram because the City Corporation then replaced the steam and horse trams with electric traction between 1900 and 1902, and I'm not that old. ;-)
We were in this district to meet up with my granddaughters who are both at Dundee University. (See PiP)
