Spring lane is actually the road ahead in the distance, climbing up to the tower block on the left. Supertram No. 17 (now numbered 117) is at the stop, which when photographed was the temporary terminus on this line. Park Grange Road winds its way through large areas of social housing. In 1994 the area looked pretty run down. Maybe it has improved since then. The tram was routed this way to help with regeneration. Image

Environmentally friendly development on Park Grange Road nears completion. The Environment Trust http://envirotrust.org/ is the UK's leading non-profit developer of affordable, environmentally friendly housing.

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

The tram, (since numbered 116 and in a different livery), was stopped at the temporary terminus at Spring Lane tram stop. In the distance is City Road. Once the line was extended, the trams continued by turning right into this road. Image

The tramway was opened as far as this stop on the 22nd August 1994. It was several months before the whole of this line was open. Since Stagecoach took over the system, this tram has been renumbered 117. It has also had two more different liveries since this photograph was taken in 1994.
