Tramways

Tramways in Britain almost ceased entirely in the post-WWII years. Once Glasgow had disposed of its lines, the sole survivor was the Blackpool Corporation Tramways, although considerably reduced size. In the late 20th century there has been a revival in this form of transport, notably in Manchester, Sheffield and Croydon, among others.

There are, however, the following places where preserved trams operate:
