If I remember the story correctly, the San Francisco trams were brought over to supplement services because the Manchester trams were slow in delivery. When they reached Manchester they were found to be too wide and wrong gauge (5' 3") and were impossible to rectify. They were meant to go to Blackpool after the Games but the same problems were inherant and they were stored or scrapped.
