Dennis Dart 40281 had been carrying no large fleet numbers for some time (see also pictures of it at Diggle in the 354 collection). It is crossing the railway at Mossley station. The descent from the top of Mossley is quite steep and there used to be a compulsory stop half-way down. Despite this in October 1911 a tram ran away down the hill and crashed through the bridge parapet, resulting in the deaths of six people. The compulsory stop lasted into SELNEC days, being still considered necessary when the trams were replaced by buses.
