No.54 was new to Sunderland in 1936 and originally painted with a bright chrome oxide paint which earned it the name ‘The Yellow Peril’. It was later repainted in the usual red and cream livery.[83]

Sunderland tram 93, and English Electric car new to Sunderland in 1933 [83], on reserved track along Durham Road. [33] This part of Durham Road, the A690 south-west entrance to the city, ran downhill westward from Ettrick Grove to a low point at Grindon Lane after which it climbed again to Herrington. This photo was probably shot diagonally opposite The Prospect public house at the cross road. The houses in the background are part of the Springwell Housing Estate.

Sunderland tram no 6, ex-Ilford no. 37 [83], in snow. This tram is on the Seaburn via Fulwell route, at the terminus where Dykelands Rd. [33] comes to a tee junction with Whitburn Road (see n27_9_4). At the bottom left of the picture, the tracks are converging to join for the stub terminus. If the track had been continued a few yards further along Dyklands Rd and had turned right onto Whitburn Road for maybe 100 metres, it could have connected end-on with the tracks in n27_9_3, 4 and 5.

Centre-entrance Sunderland tram at Seaburn, in snow at Easter 1953. The tram is No.51, an English Electric streamlined car new to Sunderland in 1938 [83]. There were two routes to Seaburn: via Roker (this one) which ran along the coast road, and via Fulwell, which came close to here along Dykelands Rd. [33] The car to the left of the picture is in Seaburn Terrace, standing outside what was a novelty shop/post office. The building behind and to the right of the tram is the Seaburn Hotel. The iron railings in the foreground surround the entrance to the below-street public conveniences. To the left, on the other side of the road, just out of view is the Seaburn Recreation Park, which can be seen to the left of the tram in n27-9-3 and n27-9-5 (which are the same spot, taken from the same side of the road but from different angles).
