The week commencing 17 March 2025 will be forever etched into many peoples minds. It marked the week that many thought would never come. After much deliberation and angst it had been decided by the MTPS board that to secure the future of three of our heritage tram cars, Liverpool 762, Wallasey 78 and Birkenhead 20. They were to be moved to the National Tramway museum at Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire. They were subsequently moved out of Wirral Transport Museum to be lined up on the section of tramway behind Molly's Chambers, the pub opposite the mueum. There the three cars, under 24 hour watch by MTPS volunteers, awaited the arrival of Allelys Heavy Haulage who had been contracted to undertake the transportation of the three cars. With Allelys expertise all three cars had successfully been transported and touched down on the rails at their new home in Derbyshire. While the MTPS were deeply saddend by this move the decision was made in the best interests of the trams, to secure their future and be available for members of the public to use and enjoy.

Upon arrival at Crich Tramway Village all three trams were moved into the trams sheds. In time they will undergo inspection in the workshops to identify any work required. Once all work is completed they will subsequently enter service as part of the tramway museum operational fleet
