from the 'Coventry Evening Telegraph' Thursday August 23rd 1973.

"The 89-year old (in 1973) great-grandmother was one of the first "clippies" on Coventry's Trams during the First Wold War.
She would cycle from the village of Little Bayton, near Exhall, to report at Foleshill depot at 5am. She recalls one morning when she didn't arrive, an inspector went to her cottage to fetch her because they were short-staffed.
She also remembers the post boxes on the back of the trams in which people could post letters for the Post Office staff to collect at Coventry.
Her usual route was Coventry Station to Bedworth.

After the war, Ellen left the trams for a job on inspection at the Ordnance factory.

Mrs Greenway and her driver during the war.

Interesting, thanks!

Ellen is pictured standing inside Bus 94 (YHP 494J), which is parked outside at the Exit of Harnall Lane Garage !!!
