  Moseley Road Routes Steam traction to a 3ft 6in. gauge [Moseley Road][1]

After purchasing the Moseley Road lines within the Urban District from CBT Co. the Council reconstructed them for the use of electric cars, services for which were run by Birmingham Corporation’s tramcars.[2]

  Bristol Road Routes Horse-drawn tram route was opened from Suffolk Street in Birmingham to Bournbrook on 17th June 1876, and was one of only two standard gauge (4ft 8½in.) tramways ever to be constructed in the Birmingham area.[3] The line was later converted to a narrower gauge and re-opened with a fleet of 12 electric accumulator cars on 24th July 1890, which in turn were replaced by the more conventional overhead system, the first such service on a Birmingham based route, on 14th May 1901.[4]
