REPLICA LLANDUDNO & COLWYN BAY 7 HIGHLIGHT OF TOWN’S CHRISTMAS PARADE
Llandudno & Colwyn Bay Tramway Society – Sunday 2nd December 2007

Yesterday (Saturday 1st December) saw the replica Llandudno & Colwyn Bay 7 become the star of the show at Llandudno’s Christmas Parade. The tram attracted far more attention than Father Christmas himself - perhaps a sign of the times !  

The 1,000 feet rope lights supported by the illuminations off Bolton 66 (which were borrowed for the event) really lit up Llandudno. The number of flash-lights from cameras and mobile phones all along the route by people of all ages and the smiles of the faces of little children had to be seen to be believed !
