First opening to the public in 1972 the museum allows you the opportunity to not only ride on trams but also trolleybuses and on the narrow gauge railway \u2013 on special events heritage buses also operate. Recent (and future) years are set to see an expansion of the museum with new land having been acquired which the railway already runs into and a new tram depot has been constructed, which has allowed the tram fleet to continue to increase.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51883\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=51883\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-51883\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51883\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-51883\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/e-gp-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/e-gp-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/e-gp-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/e-gp-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/e-gp.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-51883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the long standing members of the tram fleet is London Transport 1858. Although it did run briefly in the early days of the museum it required restoration and this saw the tram enter service in July 1986, and its run most years since.
