Tram Day Crich Tramway Village 2016

This film features vintage trams in action from the Tram Day held at Crich Tramway Village in September 2016.
In spite of the wet weather there was plenty of tramway action with an intensive tram service in operation. There were also photographic opportunities with trams posed on the depot fan and other locations.
It was the last chance to see Porto Coal Car 65 at Crich before its handover to Beamish and this was on display all day with various other works cars rarely seen.
The trams in operation included Oporto 273, Leeds 180, Leeds 399, Leeds 345, Chesterfield 7, Blackpool 167, LUT 159, MET 331, LCC 106, Blackpool 166, Blackpool 236, Blackpool 762, Blackpool Standard 40, Glasgow 1068, Liverpool 869, Sheffield 510 and London 1622, Berlin 223 006-4 plus Cardiff 131 and the Blackpool Locomotive .
Thank you to the organisers, staff and volunteers at Crich Tramway Village for their hard work which was very much appreciated by all those who attended.
Hope you enjoy the film and if you did and

Me too, I love visiting for these special events. Fingers crossed for September maybe. I know some of the heritage railways have begun testing hopeful of a return sometime in August.

Is the Oporto coal car air break fitted?

[@GrahamSleath]

Paul I'm afraid I don't know the answer but suspect not unless they were added later as they did to many trams in America. Crich or Beamish would probably be able to tell you for sure. There may a chance to drive it one day at Beamish. Thanks for your interest.
