At both events members of the public will get the chance to actually climb on board the tram and sit in the lower deck and for a \u00a31 fee you will be able to visit the upper deck and see how people travelled in the mid 1930s to mid 1950s between Colwyn Bay and Llandudno on the wooden swing over seats \u2013 a perfect way to view and photograph the events. It is also hoped that at the Llandudno Transpot Festival a limited number of rides on board the tram will be able to be offered as it is hauled across part of the Bodafon Fields along the original track bed!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10461\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=10461\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10461\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10461\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10461\" title=\"\u0092\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/7-150227a-550x408.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/7-150227a-550x408.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/7-150227a.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10461\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Welsh flag is attached to the front of the lorry used to haul 7 ahead of the St David&#39;s Day Parade.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_10462\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=10462\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10462\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10462\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10462\" title=\"\u0092\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/7-150227b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"444\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10462\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">7 waits in Station Road after the Parade to provide support for the HLF bid to restore Colwyn Bay Pier.
