exact date is unknown. This tram was the one that started the whole preservation movement, being bought by enthusiasts for just £10 in 1949(). However, there was no National Tramway Museum in 1949, and so the tram travelled the country staying at many locations, including Marton Depot in Blackpool, and the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in Hampshire. Whilst it was at Beaulieu, Newcastle 102 was also there, and together they formed an open-air display, before heading to Crich in 1960. Because it needed to pass under the medieval Bargate Arch in Southampton, the tram's proportions were altered. It also has knifeboard seating on the top deck for this reason. Southampton 45 was withdrawn from use in September 2014, requiring an extensive overhaul. London 106 LCCT 106 was built in April 1903, as one of 100 'B' Class Tramcars by the Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works, Preston, on behalf of Dick, Kerr and Company. 106 was originally an open-topped tram with reversed stairs. There were 22 seats downstairs and a further 34 upstairs. The body is of a timber construction with steel strengthening. By 1906, the reversed stairs had been altered to direct ones, and in 1911 it was rebuilt with a fully enclosed top deck. It used the conduit style of pickup, with the skate underneath the centre of the truck, in its original state, before being converted to trolley pole when it became a snow broom. It was withdrawn from passenger service in 1925, and was converted into snowbroom No. 022 in 1927 by removing the top deck, fitting brushes under the platforms and increasing the power of the motors. It last saw active service in this state in April 1952. After escaping the scrapyard, 106 spent many years in storage, and the London County Council Tramways Trust began its restoration in 1970, at their Bonwell Street workshop in East London. It took 13 years to return it to service, before it was launched at Crich on 15 May 1983, 80 years to the day after the opening of the London County Council electric tramway to Tooting. The tram has since covered in excess of in passenger service at Crich. It has been restored to represent one of 8 B/4 class cars with an open top and trolley mast. After over twenty years of service, 106 was withdrawn in 2007 and placed on static display. In 2013
