They didn't scrap reuseable things in those days really. I doubt it was there when the trams were running.

I've checked all my old maps and there's no such tramline shown, but perhaps it either wasn't needed in the end or never made it to a map. I don't think such a branch line was ever even proposed, but certainly nothing like that was ever built or it would have been mentioned in the various extensive and detailed histories of Leeds tramways which we're very fortunate to be able to enjoy.

I wonder if it was for early on-site phones?
