History
The Dumbarton Burgh and Country Tramway were constructed by Dick, Kerr & Co.. After initially being operated by the Electric Supply Corporation, it was transferred to the Dumbarton Burgh and County Tramways Company.
It ran from Dalmuir West through Dumbarton to Balloch, with a branch to Barloan Toll, and a branch to Jamestown.
Despite the connection with Glasgow Corporation Tramways at Dalmuir West, through running was not agreed.
Closure
The last tramway service ran on 3 March 1928, and two tramcars were transferred to Ayr Corporation Tramways.
gollark: It uses unreasonable amounts of client side JS and may actually leak memory while old reddit uses mostly HTML, I have uBO anyway, infinite scrolling means you lose your place if the tab is suspended or whatever and can also trap you in an inescapable reddit cycle, and even "compact" view seems to be wasting space on the sides.
gollark: It's bloated and slow, it has more camouflaged ads, it does infinite scroll, and it's much less information dense.
gollark: Wrong and lies.
gollark: Cease use of "redesign", apioform.
gollark: I think RES has that.
