Gareth - 25th September 2024
Come on what else did you expect to feature as our cover photo this week?! It is of course London County Council 1 on launch day - Friday 13th September 2024 - as its ten year, £500,000 restoration came to an end and it carried its first passengers for 67 years with Leeds in 1957 being its last use. Running for all three days over the weekend the stunningly restored tram is seen here passing Victoria Park at the Crich Tramway Village on one of its first trips.
Our extensive coverage of "Electric Tram Weekend" at the Crich Tramway Village features in the Photo Gallery this week.
There are updates this week to the Beamish Tramway (trams out of service),Blackpool Tramway (photo links), Crich Tramway Village (last operated dates and photo links), Edinburgh Trams (photo links), London Trams (tram back to Therapia Lane), Manchester Metrolink (new advert and photo links), Nottingham Express Transit (tram out of service), Seaton Tramway (23 on display), South Yorkshire Supertram (105 back into service and photo links), Tyne & Wear Metro (new trains arrived) and West Midlands Metro (new advert and photo links) Fleet Lists along with the Manchester Metrolink (new advert and photo links), Nottingham Express Transit (date updates) and West Midlands Metro (new advert and photo links) Advert Lists.
With London County Council 1 launched back into service ahead of their "Electric Tram Weekend" there has been lots of coverage of that over on our News pages - the first time its run since 1957! Elsewhere, there have been new adverts for both Manchester Metrolink and West Midlands Metro and there have been photographic updates from the West Midlands Metro construction works. The end of last week also saw the latest passenger numbers released for English tram systems which saw a fairly optimistic picture with a few systems not quite seeing the increases others have.
