Crich to mark 60 years since the closure of Glasgow’s tram system

On 4^th September 1962 the once extensive Glasgow Corporation Tramway system closed its final route. To commemorate the 60^th anniversary of this, the Crich Tramway Village will be running and displaying trams connected to the Glasgow system over a four day period from 1^st September to 4^th September.

The operating fleet at Crich currently includes two trams which both ran in Glasgow – and they will both be taking part in the commemoration of the closure of the tramway:

• Glasgow 22 – will be in operation daily between Thursday 1^st and Sunday 4^th September (driver training on Saturday 3^rd and Sunday 4^th)
• Liverpool 869 – due to run on Saturday 3^rd September (the tram was purchased by Glasgow in 1955 where it ran as 1055 until June 1960)

In addition Glasgow 1282 will be displayed outside the depots on Sunday 4^th September.
