Been on top of one for real. It was in a museum , my wife said it was Crief in Derbyshire but l thought it was Coventry

 

[Alf]

Ernie it was'nt going anywhere then :2funny:

 

[postie]

No crief is definately not in Coventry. :2funny:

 

[Rod]

I wonder if you mean the Tramway Museum at Crich?

I went some years ago, it was a good day out but a little expensive.

 

[GER22VAN]

ROD  Not sure about where it was but ALF it was definitely not going anywhere as the horse was made of wood l think.
ROD l was wrong with my spelling        Thats The  Place.

Alf, I thought the Number 6 went from Hamstead to West Bromwich

 

[sylviasayers]

The No.6 tram went from town through Aston, Perry Barr and on to Kingstanding. When we had buses it was the no.33.

On the main site there is a smashing article about a Tram/bus ride on that route.

 

[Alf]

I am not going mad then :crazy2: and yes Sylvia I've read that article and it is very good

 

[Di.Poppitt]

You are not wrong though Oscar, the number 6 bus went from West Brom , and down past the pit in Hamstead, and turned by my aunt Janes front gate.
