Crich Tramway Village - 14th October 2023

Here is our final visit of the year to Crich Tramway Village and yet another great day at the national tramway museum. 3 trams were in operation including Metropolitan 331, Sheffield 74 and Sheffield 510. The depots, workshop and exhibition hall were also open with plenty of interesting things to see inside!
A special thanks to some of the crews at Crich for arranging a guided tour of the cab of prototype 'Feltham' Tram, Metropolitan 331, it was an incredible experience and something I will always remember!
I hope you enjoy the video guys, see you soon!

Very well presented-enjoyed listening to your commentary and of course viewing the trams.

Thank you for this video. A good commentary with good filming/ editing. It's a reminder of the last time I visited in 2005 when there was a VE Day celebration. 😊

Fantastic video! I was the relief conductor on the day, basically giving the other conductors breaks during the day. You captured me a couple of times on the video like your last shot of 74 at Victoria Park. Great commentary, you obviously know your trams. We reopen the at the beginning of March, if you have any questions, feel free to ask any volunteer. We're a friendly bunch!

Double decker buses on rails, isn't that something?

[@Transportman225]

Yes that's kind of the idea behind the tram I suppose, trolley buses are similar to trams in the way that they get their power from overhead wires but are actually the same as buses too as they use conventional road tyres. Very interesting types of traction are buses, trolley buses and trams. Thanks for commenting!
