Warrington Car 28
|
March
22 saw the exposure to sunlight, of Warrington Car 28, for the first
time in about 5 years when the body was moved from where our Museum
shop is today to the running shed. The body, which has stood on wooden
blocks for five years, was finally moved onto its truck. The tram was
then moved outside to allow it to be pushed onto the other line to
allow access to the pit to continue maintenance on other tram cars.
