I am hopelessly stuck on 2 questions and just can't find the answers, so would welcome any help please.
1. In which town did the first tram operate? ( I'm thinking it could be Blackpool, Sheffeld, Manchester...or is it somewhere else?) 2. The auto-rickshaw, a 3 wheeled vehicle driven by a motor-cycle engine, is a regular feature of the traffic system of ? ( This has beeen copied as it states on the sheet) Many thanks.
The first tram in Europe operated in Sarajevo - it was to test the system before installing tramways in Vienna.
Or are you specifically looking for a British town?

Thank you all so much for your help. All your answers were very much appreciated. I have a confession to make, the first question referred to Which BRITISH town, I stupidly left out the British word. Have a good weekend. Cheers!
