Glasgow 812 <\/strong>may have been a popular member of the Crich Tramway Village operational fleet for many years, but for some time now the enclosed Glasgow ‘Standard’ car has been out of service, awaiting its turn in the workshops for a well-due overhaul. This has made any chance to see the tram outside the depots quite a novelty of late, hence we feature a rare shunt move for the car on 1st December, captured by Peter Whiteley.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although 812 <\/strong>is no longer active, it was treated to a wash on 1st December which saw it extracted from its usual spot at the back of the depot and moved to the workshop. The tram was propelled by Cardiff 131 <\/strong>both to and from the wash bay. Notice that the Glasgow car retains white painted fenders, a recent amendment to its familiar livery to represent some of the wartime alterations made to many trams during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

With Glasgow 812 <\/strong>now sparkling, London Transport 1622 <\/strong>was next to emerge for cleaning. This tram ended up on Road 2 in the workshop, for removal of its trolley arms before it is lifted for a routine overhaul which should enable its return to use before too long. With London County Council 1<\/strong>‘s restoration now at an advanced stage, we should be seeing five London trams in action at Crich in the next few years – and no doubt that will form the basis of a pretty spectacular event!<\/p>\n
