Crich Tramway Village - Tram Day 2021

Home to the largest collection of vintage trams anywhere in the UK, Crich Tramway village hosts their annual "Tram Day" event, which sees almost all of the museum's operational fleet running on the 1.3 mile demonstration line. The event also saw the display of a number of tramcars currently under restoration, including Newcastle No. 102, which is hoped to be running in the 2022 season, London County Council Tramways No. 1 and Blackpool No. 298, which first arrived at the museum in 2005, and is being rebuilt to her original 1937 condition.
Various trams from across the UK featured as part of the event, including a number from London, Blackpool and Leeds, as well as some international examples including Oporto Tramways No. 273 from Portugal and Berlin Tramways No. 223 006-4.

Visited this place recently absolutely lovely day thoroughly enjoyed it

[@angelsone-five7912]

Lovely trams in a great living museum. Nice to see the Bluebird back in its original colours.

[@christianfreedom-seeker934]

Probably the best outdoor museum in the UK!!!! Didn't the Isle of Mann used to have a bunch of old transport oddballs?

[@derekantill3721]

Been to a Crich several times a wonderful place. Remember riding on the London trams in public service in the late 1940’s and some of the provincial trams in public service in later years.

[@manuscriptsdontburn]

These trams are absolutely stunning, thank you for posting!

[@BrickishRail]

My pleasure, such a wonderful collection they have there!

[@jupieterr]

I love the 106 tram, due to it being the exact model of tram used in my town from 1903 to 1929, I should go here oneday.

[@bruceanderton1518]

An excellent overview, made all the better because the filming was presumably done utilising a tripod, thus ensuring steady picture quality, as opposed to the very many wobbly efforts to be seen on KZbin.

[@BrickishRail]

Many thanks, having a tripod certainly helps, though I certainly wish my hands were as steady as this!

[@delurkor]

As a model railroader, I would love to have one of the double deckers for for the streetcar section. I did acquire 2 die-cast models but they were 00 scale(1:72) and did not fit under the wire (HO 1:87). They will eventually end up as flatcar loads. And thank you for great shots of some beautiful cars, even the one under restoration(got to start some where).

[@dokesz530]

nice when its raining.

[@Found-History]

I just released video with Crich Tramway Village from the 1970's. It is awesome to see that it still exist and people visit. Thank you.

[@wangwang2048]

Hong Kong is still using this Tramsway

[@zacharyspinks6207]

A Wonderful Video I Love it!, those Trams do look Amazing.

[@BrickishRail]

Thank you, they certainly are!

[@boblovell5789]

A late friend of mine who was a keen tram enthusiast ,told me that a survey had been done to prove that people will ride trams as opposed to taking a bus . Well should this be the case we are obviously missing out in places in the UK where bus services are no longer viable.

[@BrianNewton286]

I didn't realise they had so many Blackpool trams. It has been over twenty years since I was there though.

[@juliesmith5567]

I would loved to have gone on a tram they are so weird in looking with all the chains and wires and rails more fun with no roof better bodybuilding of them are good

[@CharlesWoodhall-yj9so]

Can someone tell me why trollybuses have 2 cables and trams only have one?

[@thegroupofreptiles6823]

It's for the positive and negative lines for the electricity. For trams the metal tracks act as the negative line but trolleybus wheels are made of rubber
