New Video: 27 Minutes, title as below.
  Richard Youl

This is the second part of a video taken by the late Barry Jones.

One or two of you with connections to Kew Depot will especially enjoy the am peak runout, and the busy traffic at the Kew Cotham Road terminus of the then 69. Note the the 60 second turnaround of the W at that terminus. Not a second wasted, unlike an empty tram screeching around a balloon loop.

I suppose some scenes could have been shortened but I wanted to convey some idea of the intense services which seem less so today so only removed a few scenes that were essentially exact copies of what we had just seen.
