Blue tram, possibly about to leave for Milngavie, a trip of 28 miles and 2hours, reputedly the longest tram route in Great Britain.

Wrong side of river if heading to Milngavie.

More likely Thornlybank.

Service 14 Blue Tram went from Renfrew Ferry through Paisley, on through City Centre, into Maryhill then Milngavie.Approximately 22 miles. Great value for a penny!
