Of note in this view is the complete lack of barrier or fencing between the tramway and quarry with a family standing in the quarry looking at the tram travelling by. Also seen here is plenty of spare track for use on the tramway in the future.<\/p>\n<p>1968 was to see the tramway extended through to Wakebridge with the opening of this section taking place on 25th May, just over a month after this photo was taken. For the 13 months leading up to this time the limit of the tramway was Cabin Crossing which is the vicinity of where this photo was taken. As for the tram we see in this image, <strong>812<\/strong> had entered service at Crich during 1966 and in the nearly 54 years since it has spent more time in service than not at the museum, although is presently withdrawn from service awaiting workshop attention.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33158\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=33158\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-33158\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33158\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33158\" title=\"812-ts\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/812-ts-550x368.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/812-ts-550x368.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/812-ts.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-33158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Tony Sullivan<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting this evening we are back with \u201cPicture in Time\u201d and some traditional trams from Crich over the next few weeks.
