The trams owned by the North Eastern Electrical Traction Trust are once again on public display after the reopening of the Tram Shed to the public on Saturday 1st<\/sup> April (an official reopening had taken place the previous day). It had been closed to the public since 14th<\/sup> November 2022 and during that time there have been some changes with the trams now joined by some other vehicles as part of a \u201cMade in Sunderland\u201d exhibition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All of the trams which were in the building \u2013 along with Bradford Trolleybus 835 \u2013 remain situated there although there has been a little bit of a move around to allow the new exhibition to be housed. As a reminder the trams which can be found on site are Blackpool trams Centenary 647<\/strong>, Twin Car 674+684<\/strong> and Balloon 721<\/strong> as well as Graz 210<\/strong> and Krefeld 412<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The re-jig of exhibits means that both the 210<\/strong> and 412<\/strong> are more easily accessible to visitors whilst Balloon 721<\/strong> has been moved forward and the Bradford trolleybus (which has now been painted in grey primer) is on display behind this.<\/p>\n

The new \u201cMade in Sunderland\u201d exhibition celebrates the manufacturing industry in the city. It consists of a Clan Crusader, an early Nissan Bluebird and examples of electric cars which have also been built by Nissan.<\/p>\n

Also to be found in the shed are three lorries and a Green Goddess fire engine.<\/p>\n
