9.25pm, tired from work, but still musing about the wood used on 53. it might be English oak.Interesting point raised by Tony Funnell at the Bluebell yesterday, as it was the last tram, with the shadow of closure over the system, did they bother with quality wood for the tram? It has done a very good job so far, though! Got the book Tramshed to Go-ahead, very interesting read on the history of brighton transport.
