OK I found the poem (limerick) and not quite as I recall...
Quote:
There once was a man who said "Damn! It is borne in upon me I am An engine that moves In predestinate grooves; I'm not even a bus, I'm a tram." —Maurice E. Hare (1886-1967)
There is a somewhat better variation of the above, also attributed to Maurice E. Hare, and given the date 1905:
There was a young man who said "Damn! I perceive with regret that I am But a creature that moves In predestinate grooves I'm not even a bus, I'm a tram."
And someone wrote a nice reply:
"Young man you should stay your complaint, For the grooves that you call a constraint Are there to contrive That you learn to survive Trams arrive, buses may or they mayn't." —Unknown
The design of these single deckers was very similar to the Blackpool Corporation Railcar Trams of the 30's, which had an inverted Vee livery at each end, although the tram fronts were pointed. The lighting is also very similar, as are the quarter bumpers. http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20...urning_loop.jpg
