Physical description
Digital image of a BTPS training / qualification day held on 28/11/1976, at East Preston depot:
From left: Richard Gilbert, Peter Hill, Paul Nicholson, Bruce Davey and Jack Chadwick standing between trams 16W (the only tram at the time on the MMTB network with a manual lap brake) and Z16.
Peter Winspur advised 18/5/2020:
Paul was an M&MTB driver at the time. Peter Hill would have been doing his
first day and Jack Chadwick qualified as driver on that day along with Paul.
We managed to train Peter in a few weeks as he was back on 19 December!
Just in time for the summer running.
Inspector Bruce Davey was the trainer/instruction/examiner driver.
Image supplied by Paul Nicholson 17/5/2020.
See Reg Item 7775 for a photo of just the two cars.
