Eleanor Cross.
In 1907, the metropolitan tramway network reached Waltham Cross. The last tram ran in 1938, and the service continued with trolleybuses until 1961. These vehicles were faster and more manoeuvrable, not being confined to rails, but they had one snag. They could not negotiate sharp bends easily without de-wiring. When turning the corner at the Eleanor Cross they frequently de-wired. Routemaster diesel buses replaced the trolleybuses
