In 1952 I boarded for a few months almost at the Maylands terminus (behind a
fruit shop) - the trams had ceased but the rails were still in the road
(unlike South Perth where piled up as scrap) . I didn't ever know the route
number - apparently 34.

Strange you should have hidden your camera just like I did. Whip it out take

I am so grateful to those TDU members who were not put off to record those

One of those who obviously is "made of tougher stuff" is Noel Reed.

Have a look at the attached pic - you can almost read the lips and hear the
jeers from the passengers on the back platform.
