[The first tram line of the Oldham Corporation Transport was open on the 15th December 1900. At this time, Oldham was still being served by the horse trams of the Manchester Carriage and Tramways Company. Motorbuses had made an appearance in Oldham during May 1913. A further service was introduced on the 31st August 1914 to Denshaw from the new tram terminus at Grains Bar. However, the cost of operating the buses was becoming too expensive and the services were withdrawn in 1919. The 1968 Road Transport Act provided for the creation of the South East Lancashire and North East Cheshire (SELNEC) Passenger Transport Executive, of which Oldham became a part on the 1st November 1969, officially ceasing to exist as a separate municipal undertaking at midnight on the 31st October.]
