- We spent an afternoon at this museum riding the railway and trams,if your in the Lowestoft area call in for a step back in time.
The trams and trolley bus brought many happy memories back.
Enjoy a trip with us.
Another great video! I must go and visit this museum once their extension is open.
Well worth a visit.
For some odd reason Chris I didn’t realise this was one of your excellent video until I saw Rosie at a bus stop! It’s good to see the active Bournemouth trolleybus at the museum (it’s in excellent condition…well done to the staff!). Ive been trying to stir up interest to open two new trolleybus routes here in Bournemouth from the Central Station, one to Bournemouth Pier and one to Boscombe Pier…and there are steep gradients to both piers…ideal for trolleybus power demonstrations. Thanks for the video, I’d love to visit the museum but it’s too far for me to drive nowadays. Best wishes, Rob.
Hi Rob. Great museum.We went mainly for the trains but the trams and trolley buses were great so we made the most of our stay. They took me back to when we were very young,riding and watching them........Regards Chris
It's so good when enthusiasts/volunteers have museums such as this running.
Enjoyed the film, well done. :-)
+BillycanKay It is a must visit Kay,the guys are so enthusiastic about there hobby.Lot's to see and do......Regards Chris.
Great film . I remember the trolley buses in Reading. One of the last places to keep them, they ran until 1970. Lots of trams still here in Germany.
Hi Ian.I can also remember the trams and trolley buses from years gone by,what goes around comes around as they say! We now have many cities with tram systems again,our nearest being Nottingham,must go and video it one day.....Regards Chris
Nice to see the old trams running , used to love going to Leeds as a youngster and riding the trams ..and of course at ~blackpool were they still run ..we had trolly buses at Huddersfield in to the late 60`s ..Dave
+David Howarth This visit has wet our appetite for another visit to a Tram museum at Crich.We can remember the trams and trolley buses when we lived in the southern part of the country.Just shows they got rid of them to quick as they are now relaying new tracks in many cities of the UK,look at Nottingham,miles of new tracks and trams everywhere.......Best wishes Chris.
Hi Chris.What a wonderful Museum,A treasure trove of memories.It features so many types of transport it must be easy to enjoy many hours of nostalgia and fun there.Beautifully captured Chris,most enjoyable.Geoff.
+geofflewis1934 Thank you Geoff for your nice comments.This museum is crammed with many memories of the past,with a museum like this the youngsters of today can see our heritage and enjoy these lovely machines. .......Best wishes.Chris.
That's an impressive collection they have there Chris, covering many modes of transport...Excellent coverage from this beautiful Rural Museum...Best wishes...Bob
+Robert Masterman I was very impressed with the museum,small but with many items to see, trams/trolley buses to ride plus the train which was very popular with the visitors.The members were very enthusiastic about there hobby and made our visit a pleasant one......Best wishes Chris.
We visited in September 2016 an found the staff very friendly. Rode on everything even though I was a kid 50 years ago!! I remember the trolleys in Nottingham as a kid but never rode on a tram for real. This place is a real treat and recommended - history you can touch and ride on. Magnificent. 5*
Many thanks for commenting,i'm glad you enjoyed your day.Nottingham has trams again although a little bit different to these........Regards Chris.
Hi Chris and Rosie....Now this is right up my Street ! Just love Trams and Trolley Buses. Looks an amazing place...I envied you on the top of the Tram on your ride...My love of Trams started at an early age in Swansea on the Mumbles Train which i went on with my Mother.. It closed in 1960 when i was 4 !! Sacrilage..So short sighted by the then Town Council...The Train name was because it was originally Steam Hauled ,until i think 1929 when it was Electrified. The 'Trains' often ran two Cars together and were double decks capable of carrying around 106 Persons..Best wishes...Steve.-:)
+Steve Lewis Video Channel. I knew you would like this video Steve.Great day out.It also brought back many memories for me as well Steve,great times.Did you notice the ecceleration of the Trolley bus.wow! Must now visit the Crich museum it has wet my appetite for more trams......Best wishes Chris
