Crich Tramway Village 60th Anniversary Part 1, September 2019

Описание: After my overnight stop in Derby, I begin the second day of my trip with the short journey to Whatstandwell station, where I take the steep uphill walk to the Crich Tramway Museum.

The Crich Tramway Museum, located in the village of Crich is home to the National Tramway Museum, home to over 60 trams of mostly British origin running through a recreated street and out into open countryside up to Glory Mine, a running distance of around a mile.

In this first video we arrive at the site in time for the opening, taking in the preset photo opportunities with trams on display, before moving to the depot fan in time for the bulk of trams to come off the depot, and enter service for the day. Continuing to explore the site we take numerous rides, and with trams running every 6 minutes on an almost continuous service there was almost constant action. Part 1 concludes with a visit to the Great Exhibition Hall, home to the museums main display, detailing the history of tramways from the very beginning to the glory days of tramways in the UK, an amazing exhibition.

Part 2 from my visit to the Crich Tramway Museums 60th Anniversary weekend will be uploaded next Monday at 1800, hit subscribe to make sure you don't miss it!
