ABSTRACT
Such progress had been achieved that a trial run was made over the Hampton Court loop on March 22nd. The Chiswick Times reported that the ‘great new car’ left Fulwell Depot at 9 p.m. ‘A strikingly novel aspect it must have presented to the dwellers on the route as it passed through the comparatively open country between Fulwell and Teddington, throwing its halo of radiance across the meadows through the fast-falling rain.’ Robinson junior was at the controls. With him on the platform were Robinson and the heads of the permanent way, overhead installation and rolling stock departments.
