Great Orme Tramway
Tramcar no 5 St Silio approaching Halfway Station. One of four cars, each with a capacity of 48 passengers, with nos 4 and 5 running on the lower section and nos 6 and 7 on the upper section. All were built by Hurst Nelson of Motherwell.
The Great Orme Tramway
The Great Orme Tramway (Link
) was built in 1902 to take passengers from Llandudno to and from the summit of the Great Orme. It is Britain's only remaining cable operated street tramway and one of only three surviving in the world.
The tramway uses four tramcars, all of which have been in service since 1902.
The tramway has three main stations, the lower station, named �Victoria� after the hotel that formerly occupied the station site, the one in the centre appropriately named 'Halfway' and the Great Orme Summit station.
