630 ‘Blackpool Corporation Transport’. EMB Hornless equal bogies / Brush & Co. /2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
‘Scene’ at Crich Tramway Village, Derbyshire 1
on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
I live only a few miles away from Crich.
A direct bus service to Crich runs past the end of the road where I live.
Yet I have never before posted a blog from there.
It was only when I received these images from friend Peter Rose that I realised what a gem on my doorstep I have been missing.
Posted with Peter’s consent and my thanks to him, there will be more from Crich in future.
Now running back up the line.
To the far right of the image and further up the track stands the Bowes Lyon bridge.
Like much at Crich, it has a history prior to coming here, having once stood at Stagenhoe Park in Hertfordshire.
The width is insufficient for trams to pass side by side so the tracks are interlaced effectively making it briefly single line working.
