In this pictorial update we head to the Crich Tramway Vuillage on Bank Holiday Monday, 30th August. This was the day when the track fault was discovered preventing trams from travelling any further north than just beyond Victoria Park (a fault which has now been fixed and after a couple of weeks with short running saw full services resume on Saturday 11th September) but these images come before then. We see trams at Glory Mine and also take a quick look at Wakebridge where the recently restored Bradford Cabman’s shelter can be seen. Keith Chadbourne took the following photos.
One of the later entries into service for 2021 has been Metropolitan Electric Tramways 331 which provides a good higher capacity enclosed tram. It sits here at Glory Mine.
Chesterfield 7 arrives at Glory Mine with passengers enjoying a ride on the open balcony.
The Cabmen’s Shelter in place at Wakebridge. With the main structure having been restored in Bristol the next stage of the work will concentrate internally with it eventually being reopened to the public. (All Photographs by Keith Chadbourne, 30th August 2021)
