The Glasgow tram system was gradually phased out between 1956 and 1962 (in favour of diesel-powered buses), with the final trams operating on 4 September 1962. Apart from the Blackpool tramway, Glasgow became the last city or town in the UK to operate trams until the opening of the Manchester Metrolink in 1992.

Shortly before the end of tram services in Glasgow in September 1962, this line up of trams waiting to be scrapped could be seen at the depot.
