Most of the windows have now been fitted in the driver's vestibule. New windows have also been fitted on one side of the lower saloon. Windows have been missing for so many years now that we've marked them all with an X to avoid misunderstandings and, more importantly, accidents! |

Winter weather disrupts Heritage Tramway.
|
2010 got off to a bad start with adverse weather conditions preventing the running of a normal service. As you can see from the photos, the track for the most part was invisible, let alone traversible. For the best part of two weeks, the track lay submerged beneath solid ice and the trams stayed firmly in the depot. |
