Beamish and its trams have been in the news over the past couple of weeks with a busy February Half Term followed by the arrival of Box 40 for its loan spell. In this pictorial we take a look at an altogether calmer day on the tramway – Wednesday 27th February – with just the one tram in service to start with. With blue skies in evidence there are still visitors to transport around the museum and on this day Blackpool Marton Box 31 was the sole tram in service – although Newcastle 114 was expected to join it later in the day. Who would have thought that a day in late February would see two open toppers in service and no one complaining! Trevor Hall with the photos.
Not a cloud in the sky as Blackpool 31 heads around the museum circuit.
Down at the depot and Oporto 196 rests in the sun. Manchester 765 is now on road 1 with Sunderland 16 and Newcastle 114 also visible in this shot. (Photographs by Trevor Hall, 27th February 2019)
