The Trams



For anyone ubnsure of what we own and run and the current status of them all, here's the current state of play as of 22/11/09.




Manchester 765; Operational, was restored during the 60s and 70s. Entered service at Crich in 1977 while construction was underway at Heaton Park. Moved to the park in 1979. Due some remedial tidying up to paint etc over the winter. It is still hoped that 765 will visit Blackpool again next year.




Manchester L53; The only restored Eades reversible Horse Tram in the world. Entered service in March 2008. Planned to operate on 28th March 2010. (The picture is taken at Beamish)



Leeds 6; Entered service as Hull 96 in 1988. Truck refurbished during 2008 as well as some bodywork attention. Resurfaced in late 2008 as Leeds 6.


Blackpool 752; The Railgrinder arrived in November 2008 and is in use as a Works car. Some attention will be needed later but nothing major.
Rawtenstall 23; Currently in store.
Manchester 173; Our only electric double decker is undergoing restoration and is on display at the Museum of Transport in Boyle Street.
I will try and upload some more pics over the next few days.
