Very nice shot with the (I would assume train station) in the background! So even the trollies over there are double decker eh?

The building in the background is the former Assembly Rooms
building, originally from Derby, but now reconstructed at the
Museum site.
Sadly, there are very few tramways left in the UK now, most of
them had gone by the middle of the 20th century. The Museum
has fine examples of both single and double decker cars, as
does Blackpool in Lancashire.
Interestingly, some UK cities are now bringing back modern
tramways as part of their transport infrastructure, in order
to reduce traffic congestion and pollution.

Hmm, to bad the US can’t embrace mass transit like you folks over there.

Great shot RedHill ~ have you considered putting it in the Trams & Buses Group?

Didn’t know of this group, Judi, but thanks for the hint!
