We have already reported on the arrival of Bournemouth 85 <\/strong>at Crich on Friday 25th August – but as it is so exciting we couldn’t resist sharing some more images of its arrival! This time the tram is shown being unloaded in the depot, before taking a short ride on the traverser.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier, the low loader which transported 85 <\/strong>to the museum was backed into the depot where, once a ramp had been constructed, the tram was carefully unloaded. This had required roads 10 and 11 to be completely cleared of trams, including Sheffield 189 <\/strong>which was placed on the depot track fan. Once 85 <\/strong>had touched down it was moved onto the traverser and shunted onto the top of road 12 in the depot, where it now stands in front of London Transport 1622 <\/strong>and Johannesburg 60<\/strong>. This is only temporary, and the car is soon expected to take its place in the Great Exhibition Hall as a static exhibit.<\/p>\n

A close look at Bournemouth 85, still aboard the low loader, at the rear of road 11 in the depot at Crich. London Transport 1622 is just about visible alongside.<\/p><\/div>\n

85 is carefully winched off the trailer and touches down on Crich metals - albeit only one rail due to its narrow gauge!<\/p><\/div>\n

We now see Bournemouth 85 moving on the traverser before settling in on road 12. (All photos by Peter Bowler)<\/p><\/div>\n
