Not required did it on the 100th Anniversary of the tramway in 1989 and also on Malcolm Ellis shunter at Bournemouth at time excellent Push Pull Farewell Tour fantastic bit of track I now live in Liverpool and have never been back great place
Downvoting for the A.I Thumbnail. Generative A.I still doesn't get how to keep trains (or in this case, trams) on the rails. It would've been easy to use a stock photo or a real artist's rendition, but you chose to use plagiarism algorithms instead. Shame!
Why close the Weymouth Harbour tramway for. I take it that it was removed because it no longer was needed and the tracks were lifted. So sad that trains no longer use that branch line.
Well, if op had actually done any research (or read wikipedia) instead of using chatgpt, they would have told you that installation of third rail on the mainline would have required separate equipment on the branch, at which point operation became uneconomical.
Not that I know about. Class 47s still show up at Weymouth on "specials", but I can't imagine anything the size of a "Hoover" ever coming down this way. Given how close the trains and cars got to each other, I doubt there'd have been room.
Yes, i remember watching cromptons ambling through the town.
Shame that the Weymouth Harbour tramway is now completely gone.
We had something Similar in Huddersfield for the Gas works. It was called the Beaumont Street Flyer

Great Yarmouth had a line like that from the docks

@@DavidKiviatFerry port closed, through trains ended, rails detiorated and Council got a grant to remove them.
I wonder did class 47 or 50 locos and mark 3 carriages ever traverse this line.
