Dumbarton Burgh and County Tramways provided a tramway service in Dumbarton from 1907 to 1928.[1]
History
The Dumbarton Burgh and Country Tramway was constructed by Dick, Kerr & Co. and 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.
