Edgar Allen and Company of the Imperial Steelworks and Yorkshire Steel and Engineering Works, Sheffield, provided the tramlines.

More track was laid into the Great Western Railway (GWR) sidings at Gloucester Docks, where much of the material was unloaded.

As part of a programme of replacing the tramway services with buses, which had started in 1929, the final trams ran on 12 January 1933.

In 1935, Gloucester City Council entered into an agreement with the Bristol Omnibus Co. to lease out its bus services.

Bristol Omnibus and Gloucester Corporation both held their own Road Service Licences for the city (joint) routes.
