TRAMWAYS IN OLD PLYMOUTH | PLYMOUTH, DEVONPORT AND DISTRICT TRAMWAYS COMPANY LIMITED | BOARD OF TRADE INSPECTION REPORT SPEEDS AND STOPS REGULATIONS Major-General C S Hutchinson RE, the Board of Trade's inspector, made his inspection of the Plymouth, Devonport and District Tramways on Friday July 11th 1884. A week later he issued his Report and as usual made recommendations as to the speed of trams and the places at which they were to be compelled to stop for safety reasons rather than picking up or setting down passengers. The overall speed was fixed at 10mph. A lower speed of 4mph was imposed on line 1 in Russell Street and to descending Townsend Hill. The speed in Bedford Street and in the narrow part of Millbay Road immediately outside Plymouth Station (Millbay) was also fixed at 4mph. No lower limits were applied to route 4. Trams were to be compelled to stop:-
There was only one compulsory stop on line 4, at the junction of Princess Square and Princess Place.
