Great. Thanks for that!

National Tramway Museum in Crich Derbyshire has a one of those old Southampton Corporation Trams running, complete with the warning about not standing through the Bargate.

I think on bank holiday weekends they run a lot more Trams up and down the track for visitors. Certainly a good day out if you have a curiosity of days gone by.

Crich is a good day out for tram buffs although it is short of cash so runs things accordingly on public holidays etc as you say JBS. I have a friend who was the general manager there until a couple of years ago. He tried to turn it around but it was too much hard work given its relatively inaccessible location for most things let alone trams.

I went to a farm on the outskirts of Romsey and they had 2 of the tram posts that they had rigged as yard lights. They saved them from being scrapped about 40years ago

It's a great place to go. IIRC it was the discovery of an old Southampton tram that led to the museum being set up in the first place. We went there a couple of years ago and I'm sure it wasn't a bank holiday when we rode on the trams. It's got a nice little 'living museum' as well as the trams

It is difficult trying to recognise much in the video....

I couldn't work out whether it was going north or south

[Lets B Avenue]

Heading north. The road ran downhill to the docks and at the end of the vid you could make out the buildings in London Road in the distance.

Is that 7pm tonight or was it last night (I noticed you posted it around 5pm yesterday, but surely that wouldn't give us enough time)?

 

I'm gonna pop along tonight, just in case.

I think the Luftwaffe might have had a hand in that.

Yes, not just bank holidays - all through the summer and other weekends. But it needs people to pay on the door to work and they find that difficult.

i visited the museum a couple of days before our first game back in the Prem against Man City. Fun place.
