Gareth - 19th January 2025
The British Trams Online Tram (Modern) of the Year for 2024 was Blackpool Tramway 018. The tram won the most votes having been the very first tram with passengers to run on the North Station extension when it was used on the pre-opening specials in June 2024. Its around a month later when we see the tram in this as on 19th July 2024 we see the tram about to go around the Metropole Hotel on its way south.
Our first collection of all new 2025 photos has been added to the website as we feature images taken on Manchester Metrolink in the snow. These shots were taken by Reece Hughes and feature trams dashing through the snow on the Altrincham line earlier this month.
There are updates this week to the Edinburgh Trams (new advert and photo links), Manchester Metrolink (advert removed and photo links), South Yorkshire Supertram (photo links), Tyne & Wear Metro (photo link) and West Midlands Metro (advert removed, photo links and tram status update) Fleet Lists along with the Edinburgh Trams (new advert), Manchester Metrolink (advert removed) and West Midlands Metro (advert removed) Advert Lists.
Its been a week of track issues for UK tramways as we've seen problems in Sheffield (x2), Manchester (x2) and Nottingham - all thankfully now repaired but not after disruption, which for Sheffield lasted a week. Also over the past week we have seen the start of trackwork at Beamish, featured photos of trams running in Edinburgh and seen adverts removed in Manchester and on the West Midlands Metro.
The Events page has now been updated with the first announced events of 2025. This mainly includes events at the Crich Tramway Village and Seaton Tramway, and will continue to be updated with more events as and when theyr'e announced!
