 The route was almost straight, with a turning circle at both ends.The eastern terminus at Maryhill was to the north of Maryhill Depot, and to allow the cars to reach the start of their route, they ran along the tramway using one trolley pole and a skate that ran on the tram tracks.Lieutenant-Colonel von Donop carried out an inspection of the system on behalf of the Board of Trade on 3 September 1912, and it was passed for public service, although he had not previously seen such a system.
