As we reported earlier this month Good Friday 3rd April 2026 saw the return to service of Amsterdam 474 at the East Anglia Transport Museum for the first time since 2023. In that intervening time it has enjoyed a full overhaul and repaint and upon its return it is looking as good as it has for many years! In this pictorial article with images by Bryan Grint we take a look at the stunning work which has been completed on the tram.
A look at the exterior of the tram as it waits at Chapel Road terminus. On this day it was working the two-tram service alongside London Transport 1858. There can be no denying that the paintwork is looking stunning!
A view of one of the entrances to the tram along with the driver’s cab.
Plenty of room for standing with the tram featuring one wooden seat on each side with a wide aisle.
More of the interior with this signage telling us “12 PLAATSEN”, which roughly translates as 12 seats.
The driver’s position at the Chapel Road end.
And the other end.
Bells and buzzers.
This sign on the tram is asking passengers to give the correct far. (All Photographs by Bryan Grint, 5th April 2026)
