Nice story in t'YEP tonight mate, although those of us in the know have already seen those pics I hope they've started paying you for all the copy you're providing them with!

I also enjoyed the YEP article Phill - Crich Museum is a magical place (I am a member of the Tramway Museum Society) and well worth a visit or two by almost anyone - even if they are not interested in transport it is a pleasnt place and a lovely part of the Country. I've often been given quizzical pitying looks when telling younger folk (and some my age too) that you can see/ride on five former Leeds trams in less than a couple of hours drive
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.

Ravioli, ravioli followed by ravioli. I happen to like ravioli.

The Tramway Village is high in Derbyshire near Matlock and is easy to find via the M1 and the country roads. Well worth a day out - allow plenty of time to explore the wonderful museums, workshops, depots and the lovely parkland areas - and of course to ride on the trams. Obviously only a small selection of cars provide the service each day, and the line is well over a mile long through the most fascinating scenery.Simply type in "National Tramway Village" for the most comprehensive website which will "tell you everything."
