Move It - Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum - Birmingham City Trans…

A collection of old vehicles on Level 0 of Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum. The area called "Move It" These were most likely in display at one time or another in the old Science Museum on Newhall Street (until 1997). When not on display, some of them had been stored at the Museum Collections Centre on Dollman Street in Nechells. I remember seeing this tram in the old Science Museum on Newhall Street when I was a kid. It wasn't next to the steam train, as I recall, but in it's own room. Now at Thinktank, it sits next to the City of Birmingham locomotive. It is a Birmingham City Transport tram. (previously called Birmingham Corporation Tramways). It was one of the last trams to run on the old network in 1953. On a journey from Steelhouse Lane to Short Heath on route 78. It is numbered 395. Details of the tram. Forward coat of arms of Birmingham.
