Unloading and parking on Provost Road. Tram drivers got into the match for free and this day the driver of the last tram in the convoy, in a special hurry to get into the match, omitted to put on the tram brake. The tram, sitting on a brae, started to run down Provost Road. A policeman spotted the runaway tram and stopped all the traffic coming down Moncur Crescent, to let the tram run past, it came to a stop at Isla Street because of the gradient there. No one was hurt.</p> Isla Street Moncur Crescent Provost Road 1950's Dundee Football Club Football Trams James Valentine Clepington Tue, 15 Mar 2011 14:36:16 +0000 lynne.davidson 682 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
