I'm too young to remember Coventry trams but a bloke I knew many years ago by the name of 'Arthur' told me he cried the day after the Blitz because he knew then the tramway system would be scrapped as a result of the bombing. It was already being phased-out in any case but the Blitz hastened the process by several years.
Hello.
I can just about recall the trams as we lived in Churchill Ave. and the Tram Sheds were at the top of the hill just past Lythalls Lane, Foleshill, looking towards Longford. I think there must have been a pretty regular service as I remember locals queueing at the bottom of our road saying if you had just missed one 'look to the hilltop there will soon be another one in sight soon'.
