Close up of image 'lnwr_le1482' showing the sign warning passengers on the open top tram cars to remain seated whilst passing under the bridge. The overhead power lines which carried the electricity to the trams were supported in various ways. The methods varied according to the width of the roads and pavements, the cost of development of the route and possibly the strength of local feelings. Along Longford Road a taut wire - the span wire - was stretched between poles erected on eitherside of the road and often at first glance mistaken for lampposts.
