“They Ran in 2021” is heading across the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man for this latest article as we look at trams which operated at time over the past 12 months.
One of 13 motors to run in passenger service during 2021 was Winter Saloon 21 in its distinctive nationalised green and white livery which was reapplied in 2017. Having suffered a fault the car had been missing from regular service since 2018 but after workshop attention over the winter it was back in the main operational fleet for 2021 and saw regular use.
With a friendly wave from the driver this view shows 21 and trailer in service on the Manx Electric Railway. (Photograph by David Mee, 1st August 2021)
