Volunteer Liaison Officer update

Work continues on the tram with the coal bunker and water tank trial fitted. More pipework has been connected and the front of the tram offered up for final measuring and fitting. Work has also continued with the tram coach with the seats being painted ready to be refitted. A boiler test has been booked and it is hoped (no guarantees), that the tram will be in steam at our open day on 4th May.


The tearoom and kitchen has been deep cleaned. Only a few small jobs are required before the tearoom reopens on 20th April.


The platform at Lawley is being reinstated with the land levelled and the platform pieces trial fitted. A portion of the overall platform will be ready to board/leave trains for our open day on 4th May.


MK2 TSO 5219 continues to be made ready for overhaul.
