context_page_description: Southampton Corporation Tramways were in operation from 1879 to 1949. They were initially horse-drawn, but latterly powered by electricity.
context_section_description: Four Southampton trams have survived. 
  11 was discovered in 1979, having been used as a summer house near Winchester. This tram is under restoration by the Southampton Tram Project  and as of March 2020 it is 95% complete.
  38 appeared with 11 at the 2013 Southampton Maritime Festival. The only part left of the vehicle is the lower salon, which is due to be restored. 
  45 was sold for £10 to the Light Railway Transport League for preservation in 1949. It was the very first tram to be preserved by a body other than an operator. Now preserved at the National Tramway Museum, Crich.
  57 was discovered in woods at Romsey in 1972. It was rescued in 1975. This tram is in store.
