Crich Enthusiasts Day 2008
The annual Enthusiasts Day took place at the Crich Tramway Village on Saturday 27th September 2008. The event promises lots of rare trams out of the Depot and Exhibition Hall, tram line-ups and normally at least one cavalcade. This gallery takes you through most of the days events with the stars no doubt being Edinburgh 35, Blackpool Standard 49, Prague 180, Sheffield 189, Sheffield 264 and Sheffield 510 - all of which made apperances out on the Depot Fan or Traverser. There was also a cavalcade of Blackpool trams, a special "Southampton 1948" tram tour, works trams on the Depot Fan and a Sheffield tram line-up. As well as photos of all these this gallery features shots of the trams in passenger service and also cars in the Depot and Exhibition Hall that is was easier to get due to the others being out. You can navigate between the photos by using the links at either the top of the page (just above this box) or at the bottom of the page "Next Page of Photos" or "Previous Page of Photos"). As always please enjoy the photos and any comments (positive or negative) please contact me by email at the usual address.
