LIST OF TRAMWAY SERVICES IN NUMERICAL ORDER
(Second System of Numbering)
The Second System of Service numbering was introduced
on 3rd May 1938 to replace both the 'Head-code'
system of Mr. Dalrymple and the Department's own letter-code see
Destination list??under construction??. The numbers were chosen
in relation basically to the Motorbus service numbers at the time
and suffix letters continued to be used, but this time to segregate
the services in groups. In August 1943, numerous alterations brought
about by war-time restrictions were carried out, and the opportunity
was taken to renumber the 'A' and 'B' services, giving them numbers
of their own.
The following schedule will indicate briefly the
numbering system's history:—
From 3rd May 1938, all numbers from 1 to 20 were used, the grouping
being 1, 1a; 3, 3a; 4, 4a, 4b; 5, 5a; 8, 8a; 9, 9a, 9b; and 15,15a.
From 15th August 1943, renumbering and service alterations brought
into use numbers 22 to 32 (Service 21 having been introduced in 1938),
and the grouped services were renumbered thus: 1, 1a became
1 and 30 (see text); 4a and 4b became 27 and 31; 8, 8a became 8 and
25 (see text); 5a became 24; 9a and 9b both became 26; Other renumbering
was tied up with service alteration and details can be found in the
text.
Service 40 was introduced on 5th December 1943, the intention being
to fill up the other numbers over the years. By January 1949, 36
had been reached, but 37, 38 and 39 were never used.
Services with suffix letters did appear from time to time, 3a, 5a,
10a, 14a, 14b, 18a, 24a and 26a being used (see text).
Also detailed below will be found Types of Car, City Centre termini
used by each service and Special Depot Workings where relevant. The
latter are described on journeys outward from the Depot except where
otherwise indicated.
N.B.: The types of car operating the service refer
to the types running the basic steady service. This did not eliminate
the likelihood of other types appearing usually on a 'Special'
duty famous in Glasgow whereby a tram covered various services
to aid the basic cars as efficiently as possible.
Car Types for referance in text below: See Here
