The stop is actually in Park Grange Road, very near its junction with City Road. Spring Lane is the road in the background, heading up to the multi-storey block of flats. These trams are probably the most powerful in the UK at present. All the axles are powered so that they can cope with the steep hills on the route, some of which have a gradient of 10%. This tram is now numbered 117 and in the latest Stagecoach livery. Another view:- Image
