The Last Tram Exhibition

In 1956 the Dundee Corporation's Transport Department chose not to mark the event of its 'Last Tram' but to quietly introduce the omnibus. Perhaps it was this lack of occasion that prompted Dundonians to take part in an impromptu celebration marking the end of this era? Only those that were there will know!

The Dundee tram has become a much loved nostalgic icon and has grown in reputation that has long survived its existence in Dundee.

This exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of Dundee's Last Tram.
