HistoryThe {{convert|2|mi|54|ch|mi km|2|lk=on}} tramway opened in 1887.[1][2] A {{convert|2|mi|km|1}}-long extension opened in 1888 to Deanshanger to the west of Stony Stratford,[2] but the tramway company quickly ran into financial trouble and declared bankruptcy in 1889.[2] The line was purchased by a syndicate of Bedford businessmen, which reopened the Wolverton to Stony Stratford section in 1891.[2] The Deanshanger extension never re-opened. In the early 1920s the line was taken over by the LNWR, which purchased a new Bagnall tram locomotive. After the LNWR merged into the London Midland and Scottish Railway the line was closed, in 1926. The line was unusual for a British street tramway in being entirely worked by steam locomotives; it was the last steam street tramway in the Great Britain.[3]{{better source|date=September 2018}} Locomotives
