Abstract

After an absence of almost exactly 40 year trams will once again be seen on Christchurch city streets. The tracks are currently being laid and it is hoped that the first tram will operate on 21 September 1994 - 40 years to the day of the last one ceasing operation. This paper describes the background and history of the project, including some of the difficulties which have to be overcome before the trams could once again be accepted on the public highway. Reference is made to the support from the Tramway Historic Society, owners of the vehicles which it is intended to use.
