Newcastle tram no 88 by Frederick Via Flickr: An old photograph stamped as being taken by G. S. Hearse of Newcastle Corporation Tramways (NCT) car no 88 showing a 'Low Fell' destination blind.

No 88 was built in 1901 by Hurst Nelson as a single deck car seating 37 and running on Brill 27G bogies. Between 1916-27 NCT rebuilt it with enclosed end compartments the seating then being 42, in 1923 the bogies were changed to Peckham P25 to enable through running to Gateshead, and in 1932-3 it was re-bodied by NCT which changed the seating to 40. In 1948 no 88 was sold to Gateshead District Tramways where it was renumbered as 75 (another book shows no 76), it was withdrawn from service in 1951. The parts of the Newcastle and Gateshead tramways systems that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus closed in Mar 1950 and Aug 1951 respectively.

 Any photograph, etc I post on Flickr is in my possession, nothing is copied from another location. Photographers often printed a number of photos from an original neg so there will be other copies out there of your (and my) 'original' transport photo (although occasionally there may be 'holiday snaps' type unique photos).
