Birkenhead Tram & Bus Day 2007
The annual Tram and Bus Day at the Birkenhead Tramway took place on Sunday 7th October 2007. As well as a four tram service (in the hands of Birkenhead 20, Wallasey 78, Lisbon 730 and Liverpool 762) it marked the first apperance of replica Llandudno & Colwyn Bay 7 outside Wales - with the tram starting its journey from North Wales at 0400 to ensure it got there in time. On the next eight pages are 24 photos from three photographers - John Bird (from the Llandudno & Colwyn Bay Tramway Society) and regular British Trams Online contributors Steve McCulley and Tony Waddington. So just sit back, relax and enjoy these photos! (As ever you can access the photos by using the links at either the top or bottom of the page)

Birkenhead 20 was the first restored tramcar to enter service on the heritage tramway, and has operated successfully for several years now. It is seen here parked at Woodside Ferry between trips.
