<\/p>\n

This photo is believed to have been taken around 1974 and shows two relatively modern double deckers at the museum. In fact if you think about with Sheffield 510<\/strong> being built in 1950 and Glasgow 1297<\/strong> in 1948 when this photo was taken these two trams were newer at this time than the Sheffield Supertram Siemens-Duewag trams are to us today!<\/p>\n

Both of these trams probably need little introduction, having been popular members of the collection at what we now know as the Crich Tramway Village for many years. Sheffield 510<\/strong> remains part of the operational fleet in 2023 having first run at the museum in 1969. Glasgow 1297<\/strong> hasn\u2019t been as prolific in service as that hasn\u2019t run since 2007 after suffering a motor failure; it had first operated in 1970.<\/p>\n
