A nice but relatively quiet day due to various events in Manchester. We did however end up with all Trams outside at one point which was nice but sorry no photos!
6 was in service but also managed a training run as did 752. L53 and 765 emerged into daylight for a shunt and yours truly ended up driving the whole fleet in the space of 45 minutes (if propelling L53 manually counts as driving).
Now, onto the 30th birthday. Me not being known for my sanity has decided that we need something a little different.
Behold:
Yes, that is a Dalek in a state of some disrepair. Below is the Dalek (whose name is Martin, by the way) a few years ago. You can tell where we're going with this can't you?
Incidentally, Martin has visited Crich. How many Daleks can claim to have visited two Tramways?
I have no idea why Martin, but he was originally named Tarquin (I kid you not).
If he proves popular, expect him to take up residence for a while. Some Tramways had a depot cat, Heaton Park will have a depot Dalek. Why? Because we can (and he doesn't need feeding).
