I travelled for many years to work and for pleasure on the Downfield tram. When we came back to Dundee, Downfield was almost a village before it extended as it is to-day. Monday morning many of us would get on the tram at School Road and for seating for us all, it would be the semi-circular seat at the back upstairs. There was much hilarity as the Saturday night at the Palais was recalled. The Conductors knew you and took an interest in the current boyfriends. You were greeted by most people who you met regularly.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/my-favourite-route"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> </div> Kingsway Strathmartine Road Childhood Sport Trams Irene Dowie (nee Durkie) Downfield Mon, 14 Mar 2011 16:48:14 +0000 lynne.davidson 676 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
