I got a message on the answerphone from my pal Dave Forrest, he'd watched our new Lancashire archive 1956-57 and said it was the best DVD he had ever watched in his life! I'll have copies with me at Brooklands and at the NWVRT Kirkby running day plus lots of other archive features. Anything particular you want to pick up please advise Thursday at latest as we head south early Friday.
An early start and over the Pennines before the rush hour motorway traffic came to a complete halt. I got parked up easily in Wakefield, last year it was a nightmare as the main car parks were closed in Corona Pandemic lockdown. I managed to get about as near as I could to the bus station although the escalator was out of action and I actually had to walk up a flight of stairs but I survived. It was pretty well timed and I think I got the best of the morning rush hour at the bus station. It was a bit windy but when I got to Huddersfield it was nearly a gale and using the brolly as a windbreak only helped so much as it kept blowing inside out and nearly taking me off my feet, a real Many Poppins moment. Pleant to see by way of ex Yorkshire Tiger repaints and upgrades.

I've just scanned film of some of the very first Duewags to run in Germany taken in 1957 in their first year. Needless to say there is plenty more of interest as most German trams were quite elderly and lots had been repaired after damage in the war. Strange to think that we may be looking at Ukraine footage in the future at vehicles repaired after the Russian attempted invasion. Comments are closed.
