Construction of the first section of single-line track tram line on Manningham Lane started in September 1881. The finished line ran from Rawson Square in the city centre to Lister Park Gates. Since at that time local councils were not allowed to operate their own tramway system, the line was leased to the Bradford Tramways Company (later the Bradford Tramways and Omnibus Company). The line was opened to the public after a Board of Trade inspection took place on 31 January 1882. The first service ran at 8 am on 2 February 1882. The first additional line opened on 8 August 1882 along Leeds Road to <a href="/wiki/Stanningley" title="Stanningley">Stanningley</a> and was operated using steam traction because of the gradients involved. A further other radial line, also steam operated, was built to Tong Cemetery, Allerton via Four Lane Ends, and the horse-drawn line was extended from Manningley to Undercliffe. Another new line was constructed in 1884 from the Town Hall Square to <a href="/wiki/Shelf,_West_Yorkshire" title="Shelf, West Yorkshire">Shelf</a>, together with a branch line from <a href="/wiki/Odsal" title="Odsal">Odsal</a> to <a href="/wiki/Wyke,_Bradford" title="Wyke, Bradford">Wyke</a>. Although the Bradford Tramways and Omnibus Company was offered the operating lease, it did not show sufficient interest. The Corporation therefore invited offers and leased the new line to the newly formed Bradford and Shelf Tramways Company for 19 years. This lease expired on the same date (31 January 1903) as those of the Bradford Tramways and Omnibus Company. </p><p>When an 1896 <a href="/wiki/Act_of_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="Act of Parliament">act of Parliament</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Light_Railways_Act_1896" title="Light Railways Act 1896">Light Railways Act 1896</a> (<a href="/wiki/59_%26_60_Vict." class="mw-redirect" title="59 & 60 Vict.">59 & 60 Vict.</a> c. 48), removed the prohibition on local authorities operating their own tramways,<sup id="cite_ref-lightrailwaysact_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lightrailwaysact-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Bradford Council constructed and operated its own electric tramway. On 30 July 1898 an electrified line to Bolton Junction opened, and a line to <a href="/wiki/Great_Horton" title="Great Horton">Great Horton</a> on 27 August 1898.<sup id="cite_ref-petergould_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-petergould-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Consolidation_and_extension">Consolidation and extension</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bradford_Corporation_Tramways&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Consolidation and extension"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>An expansion of the tramway network was prepared by laying more tracks. A comprehensive system could, however, not be developed until the leases of the Bradford Tramways and Omnibus Company and of the Bradford and Shelf Tramway Company expired. The Corporation obtained therefore statutory powers to terminate the Companies leases before their expiry date, and purchased them on 1 February 1902, after which date both tramway companies went into liquidation. Some of the steam engines and cars from the former tramway companies were hired until the electric system was fully operational. The horse trams on the Manningham Lane line were retired on 31 January 1902. In 1903 steam services on the former Bradford and Shelf Tramway lines ceased, and the Bradford tramway system became fully electrified. </p><p>By 1905, there were demands from the public for trams to run between Bradford and Leeds, despite the fact that Bradford used a gauge of <span class="nowrap">4 ft</span> (<span class="nowrap">1,219 mm</span>) and the Leeds system used the <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1154941027">.mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);clip-path:polygon(0px 0px,0px 0px,0px 0px);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}</style><span class="nowrap">4 ft <span class="frac">8<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> in</span> (<span class="nowrap">1,435 mm</span>) standard gauge. Christopher John Spencer was the General Manager at the time, and with his engineer J W Dawson, designed wheel sets where the wheels were mounted on a splined axle, allowing the wheels to move outwards when heading for Leeds, and to move inwards when heading for Bradford. A special length of transition trackwork was laid in Town Street, Stanningley, and staff from both systems met on the night of 22 January 1907 to test the system, by travelling from Thornbury to Bradford, and then back to Armley. Further trials took place, fares were agreed, and a batch of new <a href="/wiki/Variable_gauge" title="Variable gauge">variable gauge</a> tramcars were built. The through service began on 7 June 1909, and ran until the middle of the <a href="/wiki/First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a>, when maintenance issues resulted in through running being withdrawn.<sup id="cite_ref-spencer_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-spencer-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKlapper1974125_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKlapper1974125-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Mid-Yorkshire Tramway Company of Shipley was purchased in 1904 and incorporated into the Bradford system. The last extension from <a href="/wiki/Bingley" title="Bingley">Bingley</a> Post Office to <a href="/wiki/Crossflatts" title="Crossflatts">Crossflatts</a> was opened in 1914.<sup id="cite_ref-petergould_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-petergould-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Introduction_of_trolleybuses">Introduction of trolleybuses</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bradford_Corporation_Tramways&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Introduction of trolleybuses"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Where the population of an area was too small to warrant a tramway service, bus services were established. Bradford had given preference to the <a href="/wiki/Trolleybus" title="Trolleybus">trolleybus</a> over the motor bus, and after inspection of several European systems, a first trolleybus service was opened between <a href="/wiki/Laisterdyke" title="Laisterdyke">Laisterdyke</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dudley_Hill" title="Dudley Hill">Dudley Hill</a> on 20 June 1911. Although R. Wilkinson, the transport department manager around 1920, favoured the trolleybus as a replacement for the tramway, the Transport Committee decided to retain the tramway system. Nevertheless, the trolleybus fleet was increased and modernised over the years, and further trolleybus lines were opened, such as services to Odsal to <a href="/wiki/Oakenshaw,_West_Yorkshire" title="Oakenshaw, West Yorkshire">Oakenshaw</a> (1914), <a href="/wiki/Bolton_Woods" class="mw-redirect" title="Bolton Woods">Bolton Woods</a> and <a href="/wiki/Frizinghall" title="Frizinghall">Frizinghall</a> (1915), <a href="/wiki/Clayton,_West_Yorkshire" title="Clayton, West Yorkshire">Clayton</a> (1926), <a href="/wiki/Allerton,_West_Yorkshire" title="Allerton, West Yorkshire">Allerton</a> (1929), <a href="/wiki/Saltaire" title="Saltaire">Saltaire</a> via <a href="/wiki/Thackley" title="Thackley">Thackley</a> (1930), <a href="/wiki/Greengates" title="Greengates">Greengates</a> via <a href="/wiki/Idle,_West_Yorkshire" title="Idle, West Yorkshire">Idle</a> (1931), Duckworth Lane (1935), <a href="/wiki/Tong_village" class="mw-redirect" title="Tong village">Tong</a> Cemetery (1938), Saltaire, Bingley and Crossflatts (1939), <a href="/wiki/Bradford_Moor" title="Bradford Moor">Bradford Moor</a> (1949), <a href="/wiki/Wibsey" title="Wibsey">Wibsey</a> (1955), <a href="/wiki/Buttershaw" title="Buttershaw">Buttershaw</a> (1956) and <a href="/wiki/Holme_Wood" title="Holme Wood">Holme Wood</a> (1960).<sup id="cite_ref-petergould_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-petergould-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Motor_bus_services">Motor bus services</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bradford_Corporation_Tramways&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Motor bus services"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After short-lived trials of <a href="/wiki/Motor_bus" class="mw-redirect" title="Motor bus">motor bus</a> services in 1897 and from 1900 to 1902, licenses to operate private motorbuses on 14 services in Bradford were granted on 17 May 1926.

When worn tramway tracks were due for repair in 1928, a replacement of the tram by trolleybuses was suggested, which was to cost only one quarter of the cost of completely renewing the track. Although the official policy still provided for all three forms of transport in Bradford, plans were already made to replace the tramcars. The Allerton tram line was replaced by trolleybuses in 1919, causing some older tramcars to be withdrawn. In 1930 the trams on the Thackley and Saltaire route were replaced by trolleybuses, and by 1931 construction of tramcars had ceased. Much of the tram system had closed in 1939, and the remainder was to be abandoned in the following years. The onset of World War II delayed the plans. Motor bus services were affected by restrictions in fuel, while the tram and trolleybus services continued normally. After the war, the remaining tram lines were closed, and the last Bradford tramcar (No. 104) returned to Bankfoot depot for the final time on 6 May 1950.<sup id="cite_ref-petergould_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-petergould-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="From_trolleybuses_to_motor_buses">From trolleybuses to motor buses</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bradford_Corporation_Tramways&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: From trolleybuses to motor buses"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Bradford%27s_last_Trolleybus_at_Thornbury_Depot_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1390845.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Bradford%27s_last_Trolleybus_at_Thornbury_Depot_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1390845.jpg/220px-Bradford%27s_last_Trolleybus_at_Thornbury_Depot_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1390845.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="180" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Bradford%27s_last_Trolleybus_at_Thornbury_Depot_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1390845.jpg/330px-Bradford%27s_last_Trolleybus_at_Thornbury_Depot_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1390845.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Bradford%27s_last_Trolleybus_at_Thornbury_Depot_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1390845.jpg/440px-Bradford%27s_last_Trolleybus_at_Thornbury_Depot_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1390845.jpg 2x" data-file-width="594" data-file-height="486" /></a><figcaption>Last Bradford trolleybus in Thornbury depot</figcaption></figure> <p>The undertaking changed its name to Bradford City Transport in 1952. The Bradford trolleybus system covered 47 route miles and operated 200 vehicles at its peak. An increased diesel fuel duty in 1952, coupled with a decrease in electricity costs, meant that trolleybuses were more economical to operate than motor buses. By 1962 the position had been reversed, so that the Transport Committee voted to replace the trolleybuses by the more flexible motor bus. In March 1961 the trolleybuses on the City to Bradford Moor route were withdrawn, followed by those on the Eccleshill to St. Enoch's Road route in November 1962. In 1967 less than 100 trolleybuses remained in service, and No. 844, the last trolleybus to carry fare paying passengers in Bradford, and also the last in Britain, returned to <a href="/wiki/Thornbury,_West_Yorkshire" class="mw-redirect" title="Thornbury, West Yorkshire">Thornbury</a> depot on Sunday, 26 March 1972, for the last time.
