So much hard work in the early days. I'm very proud to be a volunteer conductor at Crich and passed my assessment on Glssgow 22!
Wonderfully patronising narration, but beautifully filmed. I've visited Crich (pronounced Krietch not Kritch) almost annually since 1969 and is a superb museum which reflects the efforts made, and expenses incurred, by those early volunteers.
Full marks for the volunteers, those at the beginning worked so hard to get it up and running. It is so different now, well worth a visit.
Excellent video. What is old is new again. Let's hope councils and governments don't make the mistakes of 50 years ago.

They'll always be people willing to preserve that which bows out of regular use. And thank god for that.
Masterpiece of diligence.
Hand sanding,,,, both ways 😅

I have been to crich and it is very difficult but it is fun

we kept our trams in melbourne australia, it's one of the biggest networks in the world if not the biggest, sydney ripped up theres in the 60's and run buses now ???
Over here in new zealand our choice to move to buses (more specifically the trolley buses) was understandable as rebuilding the network after no maintenance during the war left it in poor condition so many of the tramway operators went to Europe and saw the trolley buses to which started the removal of trams
Unfortunately they shut down due to hierarchy with the last line closing in 2018
Fortunately both transport systems have been preserved with even a city circle tramway created in Christchurch for tourists
No matter how many of these I watch there is always a bloke wearing a black beret...........................
