Newcastle 102 is heading southwards along "The Link" between Riverside / Dunston and Eslington Norwood. The "Link" was a relatively long and narrow strip joining the two main sections. The tower block in the background was known as the "Dunston Rocket"

Sunderland 100 in a British Steel livery, applied as part of the sponsorship deal that was involved in funding the restoration. Dunston Rocket in the background, so looking North along The Link. 100 aka Metropolitan 331 is a "Feltham" with the driver in a separate cab. Very nice in wet weather, but more like a hot greenhouse on sunny days. . Note that 100 has two poles, instead of the bow collector it should have.

Blackpool 167 having disgorged the passengers at the southern end of The Link, is about to have the trolley pole turned. The Festival Wheel, on Norwood, is in the right background and the A-frame footbridge to Elsington & Norwood is to the left. 167 is not a tram local to Tyneside, but was a substitution by Crich, because the original choice Gateshead No.5 had a tendency to derail & stick on the points. . The shed behind is that tall so the double decked Sunderland 100 & Newcastle 102 will fit inside at night. A similar height shed at the northern end of The Link also contained the depot facilities.
