Wisbech & Upwell Bogie Tramcar No.7

… you’re travelling on the balcony of this!
This beautiful tramcar was built in 1884 for the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway (made famous by the Reverend W. Awdry’s ‘Toby the Tram Engine’) and was withdrawn from service in 1951 only to become an onion store! Painstaking restoration between 2002 and 2004 returned it to this condition and the NNR use it on during certain special events.
