The BRITISH TRAMS ONLINE TRAM OF THE YEAR 2005 is this tram - Trampower or what ever its name is this week. The tram is seen here when in public service at Birkenhead during test runs. It has since moved on to Blackpool where additional tests are expected to be undertaken soon, although no signs of movement have been seen yet.
