- **Event Name**: Stockport Tramways 125th Anniversary - 1901-2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 30 Aug, 2026 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us on Sunday 30th August as we celebrate the 125th anniversary of the start of Stockport's electric tramway network.

Opened on 26th August 1901, the electric trams served Stockport for half a century, with the final services operating in August 1951, being the last traditional trams in operation in Greater Manchester.

A full range of events will take place at our Middleton Road tram museum, with tram No.5 on display - one of the original trams from 1901 and the only surviving Stockport tramcar in the world. We'll also have an extra-special display of classic Stockport buses, courtesy of our friends at the Greater Manchester Transport Society, including one of those used to replace the trams in 1951.

A free vintage bus service will run at regular intervals between Heaton Park Tramway and the Museum of Transport, and we hope to operate a number of vintage bus tours from our museum during the day too - more details to follow.

If that wasn't enough, we'll have a full lineup of Stockport trams in model form, courtesy of renowned tramway modellers Ashley Best and Greg Marsden, alongside a showcase of images and artifacts from our archives, many of which have never been shown in public before.

Event takes place Sunday 30th August, 11:00-16:30. Please note that our heritage trams will not be in operation during this event.
