Viewing Album:  Great Orme Tramway
 
By:Dave Carson
Dates:9/11/2010 - 12/31/2025
Album Info:Britain's only street-running funicular is the Great Orme Tramway climbing the 632 ft high headland out of Llandudno, North Wales. Unlike its San Francisan counterpart, Great Orme cars are permanently attached to their cable and since opening in 1902, operates with 4 cars - 2 on the lower section (Victoria-Halfway) and 2 on the upper section (Halfway-Summit).
