💭Many visitors have been asking what happened to the remaining stained-glass panels and why they are not yet installed in the new tramway carriages.

We thought we'd share a little behind-the-scenes insight into what is involved in restoring the iconic patterns here;

The craftsmanship involved is incredible, and when all the panels are completed, we're sure you'll agree it has been worth the wait. The before and after images are amazing 🚋💙

❤️ What an incredible day as we welcomed passengers back to the Saltburn Cliff Tramway for the first time following its refurbishment.

Seeing the tramway back in operation and filled with smiling passengers once again was a proud moment for everyone involved in the project.

Thank you for your patience during the refurbishment works and for giving such a warm welcome to the tramway's beautiful new handcrafted carriages.

For those who held a valid annual pass in 2026, please call into the station with your pass and we will be happy to issue you with a replacement valid until January 2027.

🚋We look forward to welcoming you on board for many more journeys

Behind the scenes while the carriages were away... 🔧🚋

While attention has been focused on the arrival of the new carriages, important restoration work has also been taking place behind the scenes.

The original water fill valve, used to fill the tram's water tanks, was carefully removed, repaired and restored following a slow dripping leak. Not bad for a piece of equipment that's been in service for more than 140 years!

The traditional ship's wheel, which is used to operate the tramway's brakes, was also removed and fully restored. Specialist repairs were carried out to its spindles and rivets, helping to preserve another important part of the Tramway's historic machinery.

These restoration works ensure original features can continue to play their part for many years to come. ✨
