Can remember going on a Liverpool tram when I was 4. Refused to catch a bus from Central Station to Pier Head, insisted on waiting for a tram.

Baby Grand tram 245 still survives over the water in Birkenhead at the fantastic Wirral Transport Museum where it is back in operational condition running between the Museum premises in Taylor Street and the ferry terminal at Woodside.

The most amazing working workshop circa 1950 and the guys who run it just blow you away with their enthusiasm and commitment. I went there with my kids 12 years ago and they still talk about it.

What lovely memories, I lived not far from the overhead rail I used it every week, As we lived in Chatham Close. It was a sad day that the line was closed 😪

Just breathtakingly good. The biggest respect to all involved. Historically priceless footage with a sympathetic/informative commentary. Made my night. Thank you.

Great bit of archive filming. I still think the former Liverpool Overhead Railway should have been kept open and subsequently modernised as it would have been an excellent tourist attraction in Liverpool nowadays what with the regeneration of the famous waterfront and docks in the city.

Amazing, they scrap it all only to find out when they want to put it back again, it's going to cost 100's of millions. Short sighted!

I totally agree with you. if Manchester, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Birmingham can have trams why not Liverpool?
