Gallery 522: Power from the Past at Beamish - Saturday 7th March 2015

On the weekend of 7th & 8th March 2015, Beamish Museum hosted a special weekend event showcasing its collection of historic trams. Both days saw all six of the operational tramcars then on site - Sunderland 16, Grimsby & Immingham 26, Blackpool 31, Newcastle 114, Oporto 196 and Blackpool 280 - in service, with a few line-ups outside the depots adding to the interest. On the Saturday evening, a behind the scenes tour was also offered for a modest additional fee along with evening photographic and riding opportunities. This gallery shows all of the tram action from the first day of the event.

All Photographs in this collection were taken by Paul Derrick on 7th March 2015.
