The Crich Tramway Village was turned into a seaside resort for a nine day event from Saturday 23rd to Sunday 31st May as the annual \u201cBeside the Seaside\u201d event took place once again. This family oriented event saw a fun fair at the museum alongside another visit from Woodies Wings and their collection of birds. There was also a beach for the children to play in and a visit from a band playing in the bandstand in Victoria Park. And of course there was a tram service for each day mainly utilising Blackpool trams but some other towns and cities were also represented, particularly when the weather prevented the use of the open Blackpool trams!<\/p>\n

Over the course of the nine days eleven different trams ran in passenger service (plus access tram Berlin 223 006-4<\/strong>) with Blackpool Standard 40<\/strong> seeing the most using being used on seven of the days. Other trams to see use were Blackpool cars 166<\/strong>, 167<\/strong>, 236<\/strong> and 762<\/strong> alongside Sheffield 74<\/strong>, Oporto 273<\/strong>, Leeds 399<\/strong>, Sheffield 510<\/strong>, Glasgow 1068<\/strong>, London Transport 1622<\/strong>. At least three trams were in service on each day with a high of a five tram service over the Bank Holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
