The Crich Tramway Village workshop team has been busy working on the museum’s tram collection, with three more joining the operational fleet for the coming season, including Blackpool Corporation number 40, new in 1926 with bodywork built by the operator on Preston McGuire bogies, has undergone major overhaul. When withdrawn from service in 1963 this was the last open balcony tramcar running in Britain. Blackpool 166, a ‘toastrack’ tram built in 1927, Newcastle 102, a 1901 car on Brill bogies, and London County Council 106, a 1903 single-decker with Electric Railway & Carriage Co bodywork on Brill bogies, have all undergone repairs over the winter ready for the 2023 season, which opens on Saturday 11 March.
