The tramcar is now based at the Statford Barn Railway, just sixteen miles away from Burton itself, as revealed by the local press. Although the site is not normally open to the general public a small number of open days will allow interested enthusiasts to see the tram, the first such event of 2015 falling on 28th March.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Burton Mail has revealed that plans are already being discussed for the future of car <strong>14<\/strong> with the ultimate intention being to operate it on a suitable length of track at the railway where it now resides. This would certainly be a huge turnaround in the fortunes of a tram which has been stored out of use since 2003, when the heritage line in Detroit on which it formerly ran was closed down for good. The tram will require an overhaul before this can happen, although initial assessment seems to suggest that its condition is actually better than was originally thought, which should help make this a more achievable goal. Early estimates suggest that this work would take about one year to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that the Statford Barn Railway is a closed access site and that visitors are only allowed on advertised open days, for which advance tickets must be purchased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been confirmed that the recently repatriated Burton &amp; Ashby 14 has now arrived at a new home close to its original home system.
