Aldershot and Farnborough Tramways
From Graces Guide
1878 A single-track line was proposed from a site close to the London and South Western Railway's Farnborough station to a terminus by the South Eastern Railway's North Camp station. This was implemented.
1881 The opening date is unknown, but a Board of Trade inspection took place on 15th August 1881 and the tramway opened some time later.
Subsequent orders were obtained for extensions to the system but never constructed.
The tramway was worked by a pair of two-horse single-deck cars. The line closed after a few years.
Shortly afterwards, another attempt was made to resurrect the tramway but it was unreliable and remained poorly used.
1906 The tramway was abandoned and a bus service replaced it.
