What's New on British Trams Online?

Photos
We have a double-helping of photos this week. The first set comes from Edinburgh Trams and features trams in action during February 2026 - mainly on 14th February 2026 which was a busy day with a Scotland rugby international taking place at Murrayfield. Thanks to Roy Calderwood for the photos.

Then we have a special selection from the Seashore Trolley Museum in the USA. Taken by Neil Bricklebank these images mainly concentrate on the four Brit ex-pats which are at the museum - Blackpool 144, Glasgow 1274, Leeds 526 and Liverpool 293 but we also take a look at a few other members of the collection. Anyone ever in the area is encouraged to visit for yourself and you will be guaranteed an friendly welcome!

Picture of the Week: Edinburgh Trams 275 & 268

Rugby days at Murrayfield mean one thing - a busy time for Edinburgh Trams! This image was taken on 14th February 2026 (on the date of the Scotland v England Calcutta Cup match) at Haymarket and shows people going about their business with many heading to the stadium for the match. Trams head in both directions as well with 275 on the left and 268 on the right.
