TramROUTES Haringey
Tram route numbers were not introduced until about 1913. For identification purposes, routes existing before that time are given the numbers they were later allocated. Where routes were altered before being numbered this is shown in the list.
All tram routes are Metropolitan Electric Tramway (MET) operated routes unless otherwise indicated. An exception is the Highgate Hill cable tramway which was independent.
From 1913 onwards, a number of MET tramway routes were linked in through services with London County Council (LCC) tramway routes and they then took the LCC route numbers. Some MET numbers, therefore were used only briefly if at all. It may be helpful to note that MET numbers are even numbers and LCC numbers (of the north London series in which we are interested) are odd numbers.
