Guest gareth388 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 So now that the Tram Sheds are fully occupied once more, wouldn't it be a great event if someone was to restore the Tram Sheds to their former Glory over a period of time. For example, they could be restored to a condition they would have been during during Tramway Operation,say 1950. When complete, it could be opened a a tourist attraction, and coupled with the buses that are there, would be quite a nice package. There are some things that are inpractical to do, put the potential is huge here! any views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bus man Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Just to let you know the tram sheds are starting fill up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gareth388 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thanks for the picture bus man. For those of you who may wish to know, the Dominator to the right is 2249. The white fleetline over one of the inspection pits is WYPTE 7140. We are up to around 45 vehicles in the Tram Sheds at the time of writing with another 17 to come before the end of the month. Busy we certainly are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but think the tile place is still open isnt it Hello Everyone. The Tile Depot is indeed still open, and shows no signs of closing. Its a good site for them, and they like trading from there. I think the danger of the Tram Sheds being demolished has passed, and I think that they will be there for some time to come. The Museum is not open yet, like Bus Man says, because we are simply not ready. The reasons are two fold - the main one is health and safety - getting the place in a fit enough state to allow the general public round, and the other is the vehicles. We need to have a fair amount to show, and for people to ride on. The collection we have now is great - almost one of every type that the SYPTE had, plus quite a nice cross section of vehicles of all ages from other operators. The problem is, when we get them, they are almost without exeption vehicles that require huge amounts of work to make roadworthy and presentable. There is a great deal of work going on behind the scenes at the moment. The first Open Day will be a large dual site event, with a free bus service, and visiting vehicles etc. I will post on this site when the date of the first Open Day is finally announced. I will ensure that the day will be one to remember! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gareth388 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 The South Yorkshire Transport Trust have just annouced their plans for the Tinsley Tram Depot. They have been planning the project for some time, and have now been given the opportunity to buy the entire depot, and restore the building, and open the finished project as a new Museum. The whole building will be sympathetically restored, and opened as a Museum in its own right, with the added dimension of the SYTT vehicle collection within, running alongside the Tram Depot Project. The project is being launched, to create support for the plans, and to start to raise the necessary funds to kick start the project. More details of the project can be found on the SYTT website www.sytt.webeden.co.uk. Click on the link on the Home Page which will direct you to the Tinsley Tram Depot Website. On the website, in the 'contact us' page, you can down load a 12 page brochure containing the details of the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest transit Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 They need luck AND DONATIONS ... and surely a sizeable Heritage Lottery Grant must be a possibility ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gareth388 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 ... and surely a sizeable Heritage Lottery Grant must be a possibility ? Yes, it is - much of what we want to do is eligable for funding. We have submitted a pre-appliclation, and the result was very positive and encouraging. We are due to meet them very soon to discuss the project further. The fact that the building is Grade 2 listed also helps greatly here. The project fits very well into the criteria that the HLF have set out. Its not an over night fix of course, but we are moving closer to our goal. - The end result will be superb!
