Welcome to the Tramways Monthly website!
Launched in February 2009, Tramways Monthly is an e-magazine devoted to bringing readers coverage of the most of the world's tramways. It has already become one of the most popular tram magazines in circulation, and the best part: it is and always will be 100% free!
Whether it's a traditional tramway system, a modern light rail network or a museum with tramway exhibits, Tramways Monthly has got it covered! The magazine is published at the start of the month, and every issue is full to the brim with an exciting mix of current news items, archive features and plenty of fantastic colour photos, many of which are not available Beamish Power from the Past event in detail; we have also published a regular feature on all the preserved Blackpool trams - including brief histories - and featured trams from the Netherlands and Australia to name just a few. We have also covered the break-up and departure of Blackpool's iconic tram fleet - the departures of Brush 623 & 634 and Balloons 702 & 712 being the most recent ones covered.

 We are proud to announce the release of a new CD containing photographs of Blackpool trams, many of which have never been published before. The CD is part of a range created by Tramways Monthly Assistant Editor Andrew Waddington, and is now available to order directly from us at a bargain price of just £3 (plus postage & packaging charges). The latest volume in the 'Tramway Photo Collection' series features well over 200 high-quality digital images showing the Blackpool tramway during the first half of 2010 - a very important time in the history of the tramway, as it witnessed the departure of several vehicles that have been part of the promenade scene since the 1930s. The process of loading Brush Railcoach 623 & Balloon 702 ready for moving to a new home at Manchester is featured in detail with 80 photos showing the move. There are also exclusive scenes of Balloon cars 712 & 716 being loaded up prior to departure. Other highlights on this disc include Balloon 703 repainted as Sunderland 101 on its farewell trip before heading to Beamish Museum on loan, Brush car 632 being repainted in 1970s livery, withdrawn cars in the tram depot, all the new advert liveries from spring 2010 and much, much more. If you love the Blackpool tramway and want to follow all of the latest developmenst as the system undergoes its biggest ever changes, then this photo CD is an absolute must!
