The very last football special
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 21 Mar 1959
21 March 1959 was the very last day on which Leeds operated a Football Special tram service. This consisted of one car only, Showboat No 155, shown here at Parkside as a few supporters of Hunslet Rugby League Football Club make their way to the match. The route would close a week later.
