New Workshop Investment at Crich Tramway Village

Published on Saturday 10 December 2022

Crich Tramway Village workshop staff and volunteers are delighted with the investment into new machinery which will help save time and money, through being able to complete woodwork projects in-house.


The Tramway Sponsorship Organisation (TSO) and the London County Council Tramways Trust (LCCTT) have helped to fund the considerable investment.

The tools include a planer thicknesser, a spindle moulder and a band saw, plus a commercial dust extraction unit.

Graeme Wigglesworth, Engineering Manager at Crich Tramway Village said:

“The benefits of the new tools are that we can work quicker and more efficiently in-house, using the correct tools without having to outsource work.

“The addition of the dust extraction unit means that the dust from the woodwork will not be ‘floating’ about the workshop, making it better for health and safety and enabling us to paint and carry out woodworking at the same time.

“As we are about to embark on two wooden bodied tram restorations (Blackpool 298 and North Metropolitan Tramways Horse Tram 184) there will be a large amount of cutting and dust creation as part of these projects, so the new investment is well worth it.”

The workshop team will also consider undertaking woodworking projects for outside companies.
