Showing 'Feltham' car No 521. In March 1957, Leeds operated a total of ten tram routes as follow: 2, City - Roundhay via Moortown 3, City - Roundhay via Harehills 9, City - Dewsbury Road 12, City - Middleton via Parkside 17, City - Harehills Lane 18, City - Crossgates 20, City - Halton 22, City (Kirkgate) - Temple Newsam 25, City (Swinegate) - Hunslet 26, City - Middleton via Belle Isle. Of these, 22 and 25 worked independently and were not linked with other routes, while 17 was a short working along York Road. The other routes were linked in various ways as follows: (a) The 2, 3 and 9 were linked, so that cars worked Briggate-3-2-9-9-2-3-Briggate (b) The 12, 18, 20 and 26 were linked so that cars worked Crossgates-18-12-26-20-26-12-18-Crossgates. These linkages gave convenient cross-city workings for most routes.
