A LIMITED tram service resumed at Beamish Museum on September 4, with the system carrying its first passengers since March 2020. As reported in last month’s RM, following the prolonged period out of use, the trams required examination and electrical testing and drivers needed refresher training.
Infrastructure was also in need of repairs.
Initially, only one tram will be in use, working between Foulbridge and the eastern end of the town.
During the autumn, the museum hopes to start running once again into High Street, but says this will be dependent on resolving issues including queues of visitors waiting to enter the Sun Inn and sweet shop on the north side of the road.
