Crich Tramathon 2006
The annual Tramathon at the Crich Tramway Village happened on Sunday 11 June 2006. This event sees all the operational trams at the Museum operate in passenger service at some point in the day. On the next few pages we see the images of the day.

Berlin 3006 was one of two trams to operate all day. It is seen here towards the end of the day running under the Bowes Lyon Bridge.
Having failed during the morning, Blackpool and Fleetwood Rack 2 underwent attention in the workshop and then, around lunchtime, was sent out on a test run. It is seen here at the Town End whilst out on this test run.
The other tram to last all day in service was Blackpool Standard 40, which is traditionally the tram that covers the most miles in a year at the Museum. Here we see 40 waiting its turn for service outside the Tea Rooms at Town End.
