EAST Anglia Transport Museum (EATM) marked a half century of public opening on May 29, with one of the busiest days for visitors in its history.
Over 1000 people attended the day of celebrations, which featured three trams in operation, including Blackpool Corporation No. 159, which had worked the first public services exactly 50 years earlier. The tram recently returned to use after having its motors overhauled.
Also in action were London Transport HR/2 No. 1858 and Sheffield ‘Roberts’ car No. 513.
