Ltd. operated four principal routes along Ashbourne, London, Normanton and Osmaston roads, nearly five route miles in all. The system was municipalised in 1900 and electrified on 4 ft.-gauge in 1904, with new routes and extensions in 1905-08. Eventually eight routes radiating from the centre of the town were worked by 74 double-deck cars and four single-deck cars. The 14 route miles of electric tramway were replaced by trolley buses in 1932-34. TRAMCA MWAYS TRACKLESS TRAMS RAILED NO3 TRANSPORT
