Sheffield 513’s takes up its new residence in East Anglia

21st February 2011
Here are four views, courtesy of David Jordan, showing 513 arriving at Carlton Coalville last Friday after its long trip from Blackpool. As ever, Scotts provided the haulage and the move went very well. 513 was unloaded, commissioned, and as the last photo shows, was given a short test run. A number of minor details remain to be attended to but I for one very much look forward to seeing 513 enjoying this new venue on the east coast, after so many years on the west coast. One of Britain’s most traveled trams? Maybe… Sheffield – Leeds – Oxonhope – Beamish – Blackpool – Beamish – Blackpool – Carlton Coalville. That would make an interesting set of destination blinds!
