In this photo \u2013 taken 5th<\/sup> April 2013 \u2013 we see 26<\/strong> on the Beamish Tramway circuit running alongside the Events Field, or it would be running if it hadn\u2019t had a dewirement with the trolley pole seen in mid air.<\/p>\n
For the third week in a row we feature the same tram as part of \u201cPicture in Time\u201d but this time its looking a little bit different and its also having a spot of bother!<\/p>\n

In 2012 Gateshead 10<\/strong> received a repaint into the British Railways plain green livery which it carried after being sold to the Grimsby & Immingham Tramway following withdrawal in Gateshead. When in Grimsby it was also renumbered 26<\/strong> and would continue to operate there until the line closed in 1961. The rest is history with it entering preservation and having been a stalwart of the Beamish Tramway until it was taken out of use in 2016 for an overhaul (and return to its Gateshead 10<\/strong> identify). This has been ongoing and work continues in the depot with a hope that it may return to service in 2026.<\/p>\n In this photo \u2013 taken 5th<\/sup> April 2013 \u2013 we see 26<\/strong> on the Beamish Tramway circuit running alongside the Events Field, or it would be running if it hadn\u2019t had a dewirement with the trolley pole seen in mid air.<\/p>\n
