Good to see its been preserved and not obliterated like some many other pieces of history.Some of intetestHidden tram station in central London to open for the first time in 70 years
Kingsway station was opened in 1906 as part of slum clearance in the Holborn and Aldwych areas, but closed in 1952 and remained unused sincewww.mirror.co.uk
Not entirely sure that the newspaper report is completely accurate (nothing new there!) as I believe that occasional visits were done up to the site being closed due to Cross rail Works. We know how long those works have been ongoing and still are but clearly those in the Holborn area must be completed.Good to see its been preserved and not obliterated like some many other pieces of history.
When I was but a wee lad my father came back from a trip to england with some details of the subway which I tried to model in 7mm scale, well one end of it with two tracks going in to one. London trams didn't interest me much so it only ever saw early Lochee and I think from memory a Paisley cars. Geese oh that was a few years ago now.

Lovely reminds me if my early visits to Dresden some 6-7 years earlier, that drabness that only an East German Town could provide. Especially so on a drizzly day! Lots of loverly ‘old iron’ 4 wheelers plus some ‘2 rooms and a bath’ as Tram nuts call them. Also visited East Germany immediately after the wall came down as well so likely the same year? Visited Naumberg that trip which was a tiny system not to far from Gotha whilst driving from somewhere or other to the Harz.In 1990 my friend and I were in Gotha / former East Germany taking photos and a film.
This film has already been shown on another platform. However, this has been discontinued. I revived it today.
Oh man I'm getting old, that was 31 years ago.
Have fun

Gotha tram moments September 1990
Nicely done and well edited. I liked the part where you could see the bendy tram from the outside and the inside at the same time. You did choose quite a wet day! Thanks for posting, Peter.In 1990 my friend and I were in Gotha / former East Germany taking photos and a film.

No buffers at the end of the line, I assume?And one line is going to be the Darwin Line
Maybe they are expected to travel at the speed of evolution?And one line is going to be the Darwin Line
What is the appropriate emoji for envy, envy of that excellent tramway system, I can but dream of such a line.Ok, another boring day in August 2021 ....
Or not. Three elderly gentlemen met for a G gauge tram ride day. So that August 2021 will be a little friendlier for us,
I'll share the fun with you.
Hope you enjoy it.
Four trams are new to the line.

Yes, I spotted that article Paul. I managed to get my ticket booked for a tour via the LT museum booking office a few days before they were officially due to be available on line. I found out this ruse by chance when I called to find out the protocols for on-line booking (what was the actual start time the site accepted bookings from) as I realised demand would be high for this tour. A few early dates were already blocked out despite the bookings only being advertised as being available on line. Useful to know when booking other highly desirable tours they offer. Here is a little more about the Kingsway tram subway Photos from inside the abandoned Kingsway Tram Tunnels In real terms, as the newspaper articles said, there has been no real public access since its closure in 1952. So, a must see for a kid who grew up, lived and worked in central London for most of his life, like me. Can't wait for Friday week.

Hi Steve,I have recently acquired around half a dozens LGB Trams, it was a case of an all or nothing purchase!
Now I realise that I am unlikely to ever use them all so I am considering selling some of them, I was cconsidering listing them in the Private Sales section, but if there is not that much Tram interest, thought it may be more sensible to go straight to an auction site.
Any feedback most welcome
