It was important because it shows ways of transport before the trains in Wolverton. Many people were pleased because of the Canals, but some were very angry, especially farmers whose farms were split in two. But for most it was a cheap and fast way to get goods.

The Grand Union Canal which this boat is on had a very large effect on transport and the way in which people lived. It was latterly outdated by the trains.

It opened up new ideas for new transport such as the London underground, double decker buses and other means of public transport.

The Wolverton and Stony Stratford Tram ran in Northern Buckinghamshire from the 1880s to the 1920s. It was the last steam tramway to operate in the whole of Britain.

It had an effect on Milton Keynes by it being an established form of transport that was cheap to run and good for the local workers. It may have helped in building up the population in the area.

The Tram is important because it shows how Milton Keynes transport system has grown and developed over the last century. The effect the Tram had on the lives of people locally was massive because it transported people from place to place so they could get to work and get back home. This eventually lead to the beginning of the city’s grid system.

I chose this picture because it has a big history behind it. The seats were made from a comfortable wood and arched. Most of us had to crouch just to get on the tram. There was two floors on the tram. They were curved . It seated around one hundred workmen when they travelled from Wolverton to Stony Stratford. You could beat it on a bike, because it only travelled at about nine miles per hour!  

It is important because it is  an  important part of Milton Keynes’s history of transport . It helps to get links with other towns and cities. Which also helps us bring goods in like food and  chocolate.  As there was already a tram, Wolverton, Stony Stratford and a railway station they decided that they could build the new city of Milton Keynes.

I chose the tram cause it has a long history it is a two storey high tram, it is a long kind of tram and it has lots of wooden, curved seats and the tram has a curved floor. 

The tram is an important part of Milton Keynes because it is the 2nd biggest tram in the world. And it seated about 100 people in the tram

This is a picture of an electric car. This was used in the 80s. It is a Sinclair C5. I chose this picture because it is cool because it a car just for 1 person.

I then went on to the MK Museum website and I thought it was very good . However, I thought the pictures I have taken could be included, because it shows how transport has changed over the years.
