I remember so well in the 1960s the cream and blue trams along Abbeydale Road. I used to grab one to Healy Swimming baths. I'd sit in the warm baths a while then plunge back into the pool. Believe it or not its still there (hurray!) almost next to what was the Dixon's Mint Rock factory which used to ooze with the delicious smell of hot sugar as I was walked past its open door to get the bus home.

Best built trams in the world, the very first of their kind. No other tram like these existed and it's thanks to these, others have evolved since. Still are the most powerful tram running and still going strong to this very date! 26 years old!

I don't think the first one was actually taken in 1873. Firstly, It looks like the Crich Valley Tramway exactly and secondly, that Tramcar looks like one of the cars preserved there.

Why did they get rid of the ticket machines
@JRWilson2424 жыл бұрын
We had to get rid of ticket machines due to cases of vandalism and theft of the revenue held within them. We found it to be a better solution to bring conductors on to our trams, which still operate onboard to this date. Hope this helps!

So....why did they stop running them, in 2013?
@JRWilson2424 жыл бұрын
They're still running strong, all 25 of them are around 26 - 27 years old. Running perfectly well in 2020.

I have no idea, but I doubt so. More likely they have separate tracks at the city centre for 2 of the lines to prevent congestion
