East Anglian Transport Museum

 What a fantastic day we had at the East Anglian Transport Museum at Carlton Colville near Lowestoft. The weather was perfect and we had amazing guided tours from the volunteers who run the Museum and drove the vehicles.
All aboard for a rattling rickety train ride.

 When we got to the end of the line the engine was uncoupled and chugged to the other end of the train to pull as back again. All wave to the engine driver.

 A trolley bus. It drives on the road but is powered by the overhead electric cables.

 Two tram cars.

 The overhead electric cables which power the trams and trolley buses.

 The train station.

 A garage.

 Sheds to keep the tram cars in. They had to be very tall.

 Next stop, all aboard the trolley bus. Far more comfortable with lovely soft leather seats and shiny metal handles.

 Careful on these steep spiral stairs.

 All the vehicles which end up at the museum have to be worked on and made to look good as new again. This is all done by the band of volunteers.

 Whoa, hold on tight what a speedy bouncy bus journey this is.

 Happy passengers.

 This trolley bus once drove on the streets of Belfast in Northern Ireland.

 These two colourful green and cream trams have come from Blackpool.

 All aboard the tram car.

 The tram car was beautiful inside with its wooden seats and ceiling and red glass windows which let the sun shine in and make red sparkles on the floor.

 At the end of the line the conductor had to hook the electric cable to the other end of the tram so we could travel in the opposite direction, and we had to get out of our seats and move the back rests of our seats the other way so we faced forward again.

"Tickets please?"
