Keeping public transport services in Leicester moving
Stoneygate Tram Depot, 453 London Road, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE2 3JW
This special open day at Stoneygate Tram Depot will celebrate local people, from a wide range of ethnic groups, who have kept Leicester’s public transport services moving for over 150 years!
We have a large photo archive of transport staff and many, sadly, are not identified. We will have many of these photos on display on Sunday 14 September and we would welcome any help from visitors in identifying those featured. You may even spot yourself! The Tram Depot has permanent display boards chronicling the story of public transport in Leicester. There will be a number of children friendly attractions as well.
If you or a family member works or worked in public transport we would be delighted to see any related photos or items which you or they may own. We can arrange to have these copied or photographed and add the details to the records in our archive .
There are no access restrictions to the Tram Depot and it has a large flat floor. However, please note that there is a cobbled yard in the front entrance area. We will also be a operating free circular heritage bus journey operating from outside the Tram Depot on the day.
