29 july 2012 - Manchester (UK) – Heaton Park. Just a short distance from the modern Metrolink line to Bury is this museum tramway with an interesting history. When the original Manchester trams closed in 1949, a long section of double track which extended into the park was covered over and largely forgotten. Now some enthusiasts have uncovered the old tracks, extended the line further into the park and rebuilt a number of trams which run at weekends. This is Stockport 5, a 1901 Dick, Kerr open-top car built for the opening of the Stockport system.

29 july 2012 - Manchester (UK) – Heaton Park. Stockport tram #5 heads along a park road towards the boating lake. Stockport once had several tram lines, some of which connected to the large Manchester system, but all were gone by the 1950s. This tram survived and spent several years running as a ‘guest’ in Blackpool before coming to Heaton Park. The Heaton Park line runs for about one mile along various roads, from one of the main gates towards the centre of the park.
