Glasgow Trams In Preservation

[@caroledonald1960]

What a pity they couldn't have a tram museum in Glasgow. Brings back such great memories going to school on a glesca tram!

[@caroledonald1960]

I know they have the museum of transport but a place like crich would be fab.

[@caroledonald1960]

We've got the museum of transport but imagine being able to take a ride on an old tram like they have at crich. I've been on the one at summerlee which was great.

how do they switch tracks w/o a guy pulling a lever,,must be they have a switch house somwhere,,,nice video

[@RadioJonophone]

The tracks and wires are set for a default direction, however if a driver turns his power off then on again on the approach it operates a relay to set the points in the other direction. The points reset once the tram has passed over.

where is this

[@bobhodgestransportDVDs]

Most of this video was filmed at the National Tramway Museum, at Crich in Derbyshire, there is also a short section filmed at the Industrial Museum at Coatbridge in Lanarkshire.

@@bobhodgestransportDVDs How do you pronounce ''Crich' as it appears? CRITCH ? Only I've heard BBC staff call it CREECH ?

[@bobhodgestransportDVDs]

@@MrDaiseymay It is pronounced 'Crych', hope that this is helpful.
