Today our A-Z look at trams in the British Isles featured the letter Q.
And Q is for, well, queue! Its said that queuing is a favourite pastime in Britain and at times that is no different for trams across the country! Whether that may be at a heritage tramway when trams queue to enter service or on a modern tramway where they queue because of some disruption ahead its not that an unusual situation that you see a number of trams queuing up.
And the queue we feature comes from the Crich Tramway Village – and if you’ve ever been to a Tramathon, Enthusiasts Day or Tram Day/Weekend this is a scene you will be well used to. With a large number of trams in service they all queue up at Stephenson Place waiting to be called forward to the Town End loading stop. On this particular occasion, Blackpool & Fleetwood 2 was at the back of the queue and in front of it was London County Council 106, Metropolitan Electric Tramways 331, Paisley 68 and Chesterfield 7.
