Monday 24th February saw the first snowfall of winter in the northeast of England with Beamish delaying opening whilst staff worked hard to clear the site for visitors. This was all done by around 1100 allowing the museum to open with the trams continuing to run. By Wednesday 26th February when the below photos were taken most of the snow had thawed although there was still some of the white stuff on the ground giving a little bit of winter to the images.<\/p>\n

26th February saw a fairly standard off-main season two tram service in operation with Sheffield 264<\/strong> running clockwise and Sunderland 16<\/strong> anti-clockwise. The other two trams currently available for service \u2013 Blackpool 31<\/strong> and Oporto 196<\/strong> \u2013 were stabled outside the depot.<\/p>\n

Inside the main depot and Newcastle 114 and Grimsby & Immingham 26 (Gateshead 10) sit. Both trams are off the road at the moment but for 114 its return will be closer than that of the green car which is undergoing a comprehensive and lengthy overhaul.
