This photograph recenty surfaced at a reecent STTS slide show evening and prompted great amusement at how time has marched on and people have changed. It does look as though Barbers had a lockdown in this era too! DHMD1 was being prepared for its move to Crich. The posers are l-r, Geoff Peppiatt, Ian Ross, Brian King, Ian Souter, Alan Bertram, ? thought to be an engineer on the Underground and Bob Tebb.

LISBON 711 AT CROWLE ON 13 SEPTEMBER 2020 - Anthony Watt

 

At Crowle today, I took these photos of the tram. You can see that it’s in fair condition, although I’m sure that there’s much that they’ll want to do to it. I’m not sure how they’ll use it. I doubt if they’ll have overhead wiring, so they may use it as a trailer car behind their Schoma diesel hydraulics. Or they may just have it as a static display item.
