Heaton Park Tramway, Transport museum and tramway in Heaton Park, Manchester, England.
The heritage tramway operates on a 1.2-mile circular route through Heaton Park, offering visitors rides on vintage British trams from different periods.
The tramway opened to the public in 1980, established by the Greater Manchester Transport Society after Manchester Corporation Tramways ceased operations in 1934.
The Manchester Transport Museum Society maintains a collection of restored trams that represent the evolution of public transportation in Northern England.
Due to technical issues with the substation, the tramway remains closed until 2025, when upgraded equipment will support operations for the next forty years.
Visitors over 21 years old with a valid driving license can participate in specialized tram driving experiences along the heritage route.
