But do *any* still run?

Wolverhampton (UK) must surely hold the record for being the only town
whichever had a special peak hour express working on a *horse* tram
route!   (This left the Town Centre at 1.00pm on a route to an exclusive
residential suburb called Tettenhall, in order to give the businessmen
working there a little extra time at home for lunch!)

Any ex-pat Wulfrunians (hello?) reading aus.rail will know where I mean!
