Things remain fairly consistent at the Crich Tramway Village with the early season still seeing the museum open Saturday to Thursday every week and most opening days seeing a three tram service in operation. The three trams (occasionally two based on volunteer availability) are generally chosen from a group of nine enclosed cars with no open cars having yet seen use this season. On the day of Trevor Hall\u2019s visit on Saturday 7th<\/sup> May the chosen three were Oporto 273<\/strong>, Sheffield 510<\/strong> and Liverpool 869<\/strong> and in this article we see those three running in addition to some views around the depot.<\/p>\n

As well as 273<\/strong>, 510<\/strong> and 869<\/strong> other trams to have seen use so far this year are Blackpool pair 167<\/strong> and 630<\/strong>, Leeds trio 180<\/strong>, 345<\/strong> and 399<\/strong> and Metropolitan Electric Tramways 331<\/strong>, along with Berlin 223 006-4<\/strong> as the access tram.<\/p>\n

A round-trip from Town End to Glory Mine and back is currently taking around half an hour to complete as a result of some slow running due to a few overhead issues. The trams are running up to Glory Mine \u201cnon-stop\u201d (not stopping at any stops for passengers but stopping at passing points) before calling at all stops on the return journey.<\/p>\n
