It will be here all day so come say hi to Steve and Lisa where you can grab a great photo opportunity 📸🙌🏼

Why are UK trams so expensive? 🚋

Why is tram patronage such a mixed picture? And have we actually been putting trams on the right routes?

These are just some of the questions renowned transport expert David Leeder will tackle when he visits the National Tramway Museum on Friday 11th September.

His talk, ‘The Modern British Tramcar Journey – From Revival to Revolution’, takes us from the rebirth of Britain’s tramways in the 1970s and 80s to the challenges facing modern light rail today.

Join us for what promises to be a fascinating and thought-provoking evening.
