UK Preserved Railway Stock List – the only web search facility designed to easily list multiple categories of railway stock in the UK and Ireland in their geographic locations – is aiming to show a photo of all each item of stock and this includes trams and light rail. There are a number of vehicles which they are currently missing photos of and are now appealing to readers of British Trams Online if anyone can help to fill these gaps.
The idea is that the photos will allow enthusiasts to easily identify the vehicles when they see them but there are some which have proved elusive so far! Anyone who can help with providing photos should email kevadlamathotmail.com (change at to @ for the full email address) ideally with the date and location of the photograph. Full credit is given for all photos supplied.
