| 1472593 | 2020-10-28 23:45:00 | I have been reading a magazine with an article on Wellington Trams and seeing photographs I am reminded of the three coloured lights above the destination but I do not know what they were for. Is there anyone from Wellington about that time (1940s - 1950s) that know what those lights were for?:help: Your help is appreciated. :thanks |

I don't recall them now, but for example, three plain lights for Island Bay etc. |

| 1472595 | 2020-10-29 00:06:00 | Thanks very much for that, Pato. I lived in Hataitai in the 1950s and rode the trams quite often but I never knew what the lights were for. I was only a youngster at the time so I was rarely out at night so I don't remember those lights being lit. :thanks | Roscoe (6288) | ||
