Everyone is getting into the festive spirit as Christmas rapidly approaches – and trams are obviously no different! One tram which has truly gone full out for Christmas is Heaton Park’s Manchester Eades Reversible Horse Tramcar L53 at the Manchester Museum of Transport as we see in this festive photo from Steven Hughes.
Fairy lights – tick! Christmas trees – tick! And of course a Santa hat for the driver of L53 – tick! L53 on display at the Manchester Museum of Transport ahead of Christmas adding some colour to the scene. The tram remains on loan at the museum having previously been on display at the Bury Museum of Transport. (Photograph by Steven Hughes, 8th December 2024)
