    Gas Powered Tram

    Neath Corporation took over the tramway services previously provided by the Neath and District Tramways Company. Unlike other local authority tramway modernisation programmes, Neath Corporation opted for town gas powered tramcars, The British Gas Traction Company supplied the tramcars, which stored town gas under compression in cylinders.

    Said to be the world's only surviving gas powered tram. Used in Neath until the 1920s

    Introduced 1896
