9 August 2011 - Crich, UK - National Tramway Museum: Just about the newest tram in the collection is #602, built as a prototype in 1953. It was intended as the first tram of a GBP2M fleet to go underground in Leeds city centre, where traffic congestion was becoming a problem. The tram had several advanced features, including the VAMBAC control system (a bit like a PCC) but the Leeds management stopped the project and #602 was confined to a short shuttle service in the city centre, never showing its full potential. At Crich, it is regarded as an `ugly duckling` - a huge debate has raged abount restoration but nothing has happened, because the mechanics are very complex and there are no spare parts.
