We'll endeavour to report back  Just hoping snow causes us no problems there or back. But I'm so looking forward to it! |

Snow drifts in Croydon High Street - will there be scenes like this when they fit snow ploughs to the trams?  |

What do you think you will be on? An old CR-4000 or one of the new shiny Variobahns?

Currently on a Stadler leaving Wimbledon, AI's sat in the driving seat. She's bounced up and down in the seat several times in excitement (back cab). Off to the depot for a tour next.

A Stadler? At Wimbledon?  The last time I saw that was when they had just had 2555 delivered! I Would run up to Belgrave Walk to wave, but by the time I get there you'd be gone  |

Really, really good day. Lost count of how many times we went through East Croydon, but it must have been at least 5. I'll dig out the WTT we were given and edit the post later, but we did every branch and a depot tour too - looking at the Control Centre and the bogie store. Three pictures from the day - there were lots, but AI's sorting them out.  Special Tram at New Addington - this was the afternoon Bombardier tram  Note the destination  AI sat in the back cab of the Stadler, leaving Wimbledon (after the nice Motorman said that she could sit there for a bit). |

Looks Good! I do think you got off lightly regarding snow. On Friday afternoon, you couldn't even see the numbers on the front!
