Just after mid-day today Oporto Coal Car 65 departed Crich on route to Beamish, ‘The Living Museum of the North’. Since arriving in the UK, in 2005, Oporto 65 has lived off-site but finally, last week, graced the track at Crich Tramway Village in time to star in our ‘Tram Day’ event on Saturday. During the event ownership of 65 was officially transferred to the Beamish museum and it should be in their possession by this evening.
