REGARDING readers' memories of trams (Letters, March 24), the double-deck ones in Blackburn had the destination board outside the top deck and the seats on the open top deck had a flap so that if the seat was wet after rain, you could turn it and have a dry seat.
A little joke of the time was about a chap on the top deck in pouring rain who was asked by the conductor who came for his fare why he was not downstairs.
He replied: "Why - does t' bottom go to Darren too?"
