@StevenHughes129 @LinzGelsthorpe @SStockwelll @enthusiast_bus @megabreadvan @MarcJF241 @Ste_Jones75 @Spotter_Ian I was there yesterday evening with the tram as a @BPL_Transport Heritage volunteer chatting to the public and hearing so many great positive comments. A great evening despite the windy weather.

@Fotter1965 @RobertsGarstang @ch1r5_ @StevenHughes129 The Fitting Shop was only a temporary home. Tramtown is not dead. The new BTS manager is very supportive of heritage and Tramtown. A new temporary home is to be found for Tramtown whilst work on the main tram shed begins.

🚊 Ambitious plans for heritage trams remain on track 🚊

The ambitious plans include a permanent home for the historic fleet, as well as regular trips on the seafront by some of the heritage trams.

🚦 At Carnforth station, we’re replacing signals and the cantilever structure that holds them in place.

👀 This will replace filament lights with modern LEDs, providing better visibility for drivers.

@networkrail successfully moved the new M6 Clifton bridge into position this morning. The 4000 tonne composite bridge, complete with ballast and catenary masts was moved into position over the M6 using SPMTs (self propelled modular transporters).
