" Full"
The conductor or conductress would either have to be a trapeze artist or a genius to devise a means of collecting fares on this tram. There are many trams like this during the rush hour, when workers leave the factory at the end of the shift. Both trams and buses are packed to the doors and even crowded on the outside, with passengers clinging on with everything except their teeth. Every night the same scene is enacted quite a number of times in the Scotswood Road, Newcastle. Hanging on to every part of the vehicle, they do a journey of about a mile, and the well worn phrase, " Is your journey really necessary" seems to have greater significance when you see things like this. 14th May 1944
Note on reverse. This picture was not stunted, it was taken while the tram was at speed
