Saturday 5th<\/sup> April marked the latest occasion that Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Electric Railway 7<\/strong> made a public appearance. This was an additional run for the one-time Bournemouth 126<\/strong> and saw it \u201crun\u201d between Penrhyn Bay and West Shore Llandudno in the company of ex-Crosville bus SC12.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As is usual the tram was hauled along the planned route by the trusty Matador lorry with it initially doing a run past at Penrhynside to recreate a scene from the 1950s. After taking a break at West Shore they then made several runs along Mostyn Street with the bus passing in the opposite direction, finally ending up at Craig-y-Don.<\/p>\n

No. 7<\/strong> is next planned to be out for the three day Llandudno Extravaganza which takes place over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend between Saturday 3rd<\/sup> and Monday 5th<\/sup> May 2025. Full details of just where the tram will be located are to follow. Keep an eye out on the Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Tramway Society website at https:\/\/tram.wales\/<\/a><\/p>\n

7 is seen with the ex-Crosville bus at Penrhynside. Now owned by a member of the tramway society, the bus was new in 1957 and was converted to a service vehicle in 1975, but returned to being a passenger bus in 1982.<\/p><\/div>\n
