LONDON TRAMWAYS – SL 184 02.10.20 page 1 of 21 FARE STAGES & some other stops This list aims to cover the whole of the traditional electric, steam, cable & horse tramway systems in the London area. Routes are listed in numerical order generally as at October 1934 (Kingston area as 1930 map, horse tramways as 1913 map), followed by un-numbered routes. Rush hour, weekend only routes and route extensions are not included. In common with most UK traditional tram systems, lists of stopping places were not published, and most stops were un-named, unless they were either fare stages (FS), shown in public timetables or on maps. Generally only fare stages and stops shown in timetables are included in this list. LPTB issued leaflets for at least two routes showing all stopping places following relocation of many stops due to increasing road traffic, route 27 in 1935 and route 67 in 1936 (all stops on these routes are included below). £ or no symbol: FS name in the 1911 Official Tramways Guide, earlier or later fare tables and tickets; £ h: horse tram FS t: name in timetables. + some other stops (e.g. at railway stations, selected loops (L) on single track lines). %: routes shown in more detail with locations of all stops in list “London Transport Tramways 1950” (SL 18) . Since preparation of SL 18, several un-named stops have been found to be fare stages at an earlier date (some with a different name to that I had previously assumed) and are included below. NOTE: SL 18, being one of my original “Amstrad” lists, has not been updated and should be cross-checked with this list, SL 184. Former names: [ ]; op. opened; cl. closed; x: un-numbered routes, i.d: stop only in this direction; o.d: stop only in other direction; tm: terminus; #: names from histories. Text in italics in brackets after stop name is to aid location and is not part of name. “(later xxxx Road)” etc: road renamed after abandonment of tram service Route numbers were adopted by LCC, LUT, MET & some East London systems in 1913 (WHT in 1928). To reduce duplication of route numbers following establishment of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) in 1933, some routes were renumbered and un-numbered routes given a number. All LCC route numbers and most LUT & MET route numbers were retained. The pre- LPTB route numbers and operators, are shown thus [WHT 1]. NOTE: Some duplicated route numbers remained, where located in different areas. LPTB became London Transport Executive on Nationalisation in 1948 and the last tramways closed in 1952. London Transport Tramways 1933-1952 by Oakley & Holland (includes the 1934 route map), LCC Tramways (2 vols.) by Oakley, London United Tramways (2 vols.) by Smeeton, Metropolitan Electric Tramways (2 vols.) by Smeeton, Tramways of Woolwich & South East London, Tramways of Croydon and Tramways of East London, all published by LRTA, are strongly recommended. Preparation of this List has been helped by reference to the large collection of London tram tickets owned by Godfrey Croughton.
