      I'm not sure how long they have been operating for but I didn't think it was running when I was there a couple of years ago. Good to see them running their tram. 👍😀

    😀. What a fab tramway…. so tidy and well kept. If the same were in England , the whole area would resemble a rubbish tip. As a country, we should be ashamed of ourselves. We are falling to bits. 🤨😖

    Where is the overhead?

      You are correct, no overhead. They tow a wagon with a generator supplying the power. They would like overhead but don't have the funds to put it up at this stage. 👍😀

      Ah... 🤔 The camera was mounted on the front of the little wagon when it was being pushed 😃 Otherwise, half the picture would be looking at the generator. 👍😀

    That long stretch of fancy paving seems like an enormous waste of money! It would have been better spent on restoring another tram!

    • @driver667
      @driver667  6 місяців тому

      I don't think the tram museum had a say in that as they are not the only user of the area. The area used to be the railway workshops. It is now a multi use area with the tram museum just one of the users of the area. 👍😀

      @@driver667 Yes, I didn't think the Museum would have funded it, rather the government should have given more of the money to them and spent less on paving. I travelled out of Launceston station during the 1971 Rail Centenary celebrations.

      ​@cliffleigh7450 the Tramway Museum gets no government funding at all. We are a 100% volunteer and independent Museum. We keep the doors open purely by tram ticket prices, community bbqs through Bunnings and the occasional grant. There is a trust that can be drawn on for tram and track related expenses, but it is very strict and we share it with two other museums
