The Derbyshire site is scheduled to re-open in February
Renovation work has begun on the track at Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire.
Professional contractors are replacing the line and points at Wakebridge, originally built by railway innovator George Stevenson in the 1830s, in an ambitious scheme taking advantage of a hibernation period at the popular heritage spot.
Professional contractors have undertaken the project following the disbanding of the Tramway volunteer team
The site was originally noticed by two members of the Tramway Museum Society in the 1950s, who thought Stevenson’s stone workshop would be an ideal place for tram storage.
Trams from across the country flooded into the space, and the track was originally laid by volunteers using second hand materials in the 1970s.
Points dating from the 1970s are being replaced
Organisers are hoping to unveil the new layout when the museum re-opens in February.
