Number 264 tram from 1909 at Beamish Museum, County Durham.
Number 264 is a Preston car dating from 1907 and is in service after a major overhaul was completed in 2016.
The Beamish Tramway is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long, with four passing loops. The line makes a circuit of the museum site forming an important element of the visitor transportation system. It is also the longest preserved tramway in the country.
The first trams began operating on a short demonstration line in 1973, with the whole circle in operation by 1993. It represents the era of electric powered trams, which were being introduced to meet the needs of growing towns and cities across the North East from the late 1890s, replacing earlier horse drawn systems.
