Default Can Someone Please Explain this picture?

It ran on a part of the (now closed) line between Fairfield and Chorlton Cum Hardy, which was electrified as far as
Reddish loco depot (where the 76's and 77's were once allocated). There were short demonstration public rides at Debdale
Park, where the line crossed the A57 Hyde Road (and near the site of Hyde Road station), to show the public a modern
tramway vehicle. I assume the overhead line voltage was reduced from the former 1500 volts DC at this location.


Thanks very much, Both of You.
