02 Activities

What the charity does

We are restoring to running order the last Brighton passenger tram car left in the world. We are currently rebuilding the body and have now started to tackle the electrics. We own a truck and other electrical components. We allow public access to the tram and we display frequently at shows to raise money and to educate people about this project and also have a second Brighton tram, works car 1.
