A pair of fine vehicles from the Museum's collection
There were many different ways of getting about in the Black Country and we have some excellent examples in our transport collection, which help you explore the Museum.
The 3'6” gauge tramway runs from the depot outside the Entrance Building to the School by the Museum village. The tram fleet comprises 3 vehicles, 2 single-deck trams of 1920 and a 1909 double-deck open-topper from Wolverhampton.
The tramway service is supplemented on Sundays by electric trolleybuses which also use overhead wires to supply the power but run on rubber tyres on the road. Electric trolleybuses first appeared in Wolverhampton in 1927 and the volunteer Transport Group operates the two Museum vehicles and occasionally visitors from other preservation organisations.
