Crich Tramway Village "Electric 50" 13th September 2014

Celebrating 50 years of electric trams at Crich. The video starts with pictures from around the Depot and Exhibition Hall including the Photo Opportunities before the start of the tram services. Fifteen trams were seen in service and twenty-five trams were featured in the Cavalcade. Newcastle tram no. 114 was on loan from Beamish, Blackpool 'Jubilee' no. 762 was making its debut in passenger service and widened 'Balloon' no. 711 was on loan from Blackpool.

Visited the Tramway Museum a couple of times as a child with my Nan and Great Uncle on Summer holiday days out. I still remember those trips very clearly, it's a lovely place to visit and the trams are brilliant to both see and ride on. Will definitely be taking my children when I have some and I can't wait!

LIam Green Hi. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Its a great place to visit. Special events are great but an ordinary running day is also very interesting. regards Joseph

I love the "singing" of the traction motors and gear, and the hiss of air brakes.

What lovely liveries the old trams have, don't they. Well, except the Blackpool one, perhaps. I wonder if they'll repaint it or keep it as it is?

AndreiTupolev Hi Andrei. It makes a great change to see so many trams and so colourfull. The Blackpool tram 711 is on loan from Blackpool Transport and it is part of their B-Fleet. However they have seen little use for a long while. Regards Joseph

Another great video Joseph. I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did on the Sunday. I don't think I've seen so many trams in service at the same time. It must have took a lot of planning.

mollsmyre Hi Tommy. It was a great event. Saw quite a few trams in service for the first time. It had a lot of visitors on the Saturday which would give Crich the reward of funds and make all the hard work that they did worthwhile.

Fantastic. What an event. Some beautifully restored pieces of machinery there. Nice to see Newcastle 114 in service at Crich. It'll be nice when they get their own Newcastle F class going.

Thanks William for watching and leaving a comment. To see so many trams working was superb. So colourfull and in immaculate condition. Regards Joseph

Only wish some Welsh trams could have been preserved from Swansea,Cardiff and other towns and cities could have been running here.
