Work has now been finished on refitting the remainder of the external rope lights to Llandudno & Colwyn Bay 7 which along with the overhaul of the 1930s generator means it now gives out the full 240 volts – allowing for some reflected light in the downstairs saloon. With the 1940s Matador still attached to the tram following the aborted Llandudno Christmas Parade a few weeks ago it was decided to go for a test run through to Colwyn Bay allowing the new look tram to be seen in public for one final time in 2015.
