Comments in the long distance shunter thread about GER tram engines on the main line prompt a question. Does anyone know when and where steam trams were last used for revenue-earning passenger traffic in the UK? Most steam tram systems were converted to electricity at some stage, though the Wolverton and Stony Stratford was never upgraded by the LNWR/LMS. Tram engines appear to have lasted rather longer on freight workings of course - between Wisbech and Upwell for instance.

Oh, before anyone starts, Toby's escapades on the Isle of Sodor don't count!
