Gareth - 8th September 2024
The island platform at New Addington on the London Trams network has trams either side of it in this photo taken on 3rd August 2024. 2542 has just arrived with a service from West Croydon on the left with 2539 on the right also present.
There are two sets of photos added to the site this week. We start off with a collection from London Trams with the images having been taken on two separate trips to the system in early August.
There are updates this week to the Blackpool Tramway (photo links), Crich Tramway Village (last operated dates), East Anglia Transport Museum (photo links), Heaton Park Tramway (photo links), London Trams (photo links), Manchester Metrolink (new advert and photo links) and West Midlands Metro (photo links and location update) Fleet Lists along with the Manchester Metrolink (new advert) Advert List.
Amongst the news this week we have seen the announcement that to allow repairs to be made to the substation, the Heaton Park Tramway has closed for the year and will return to operation in 2025. We also have photo from what turned out to the last operating day of 2024. In other news is the excitement that tram 23 is heading back to the Seaton Tramway - one of the first vehicles constructed by Claude Lane. It will go on display at Seaton from 14th September and be there until the end of the 2024 season. There have also been photos as we visit the East Anglia Transport Museum, see the latest improvement works on Manchester Metrolink and see Illumination Tours back underway in Blackpool for another season.
