Tracks In Good Condition

After 44 days' suspension of service, due to the withdrawal of the trams following the go-slow and non-collection of fares tactics by the motormen and conductors, trams resumed their run on all routes this morning with a normal service operating.

The return of the trams was hailed by members of the public who Fave been greatly inconvenienced by the non-operation of an essential transport service. As a result, buses this morning were less congested and most office workers managed to reach their offices at their usual hour
