Not a whisper about the tramlines in the footage. I'd have been petrified.

My dad came a cropper after his bike's front wheel got stuck in the tramlines in Grimsby - flung him over the handlebars. Still talks about it now!

My F-i-L used to talk of a friend of his who was killed due to going into tramlines. That was back in the 1930s.

You should get a (modern) advert first, then when it plays out you'll get the vintage footage. At least, that's what happened for me with IE8.

[edit: now seen them... kids were downloading stuff on laptop, so that's why it was taking so long... most informative. Love the garb...]
