A HISTORY OF BIRKENHEAD TRAMWAYS
Back when Birkenhead was a pioneering industrial town it was the first place in Europe to adopt a street tramway. Those trams ceased operating in 1937, but in 1995 they were revived and you can now travel on one of a series of historic vehicles and experience tram travel for yourself.

Trams dating from as early as 1901 operate to make the short journey from Woodside to the Wirral Transport Museum, where you can view the rest of the fleet - tram cars from Birkenhead, Liverpool, Wallasey and a recently restored car from Lisbon, Portugal. The Museum is a proud winner of the Wirral Unsung Hero of The Year 2012 with their volunteers.

The transport collection was created as a celebration of Birkenhead's place in the history of public transport, and set up in collaboration with the volunteers of the Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society, who restore old trams.

In addition to trams, the museum houses a collection of local buses in running order and a group of cars and motorbikes from the Baxter Collection. There is also a 27 foot long model railway layout.

Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society Limited is a Registered Charity . No. 1092127.

Thank you so much for the wonderful day that our boys had on Saturday seeing Santa and having the tram ride. It was made even more enjoyable, when I got a phone call saying that we had won free tram rides for a year!!! Thank you once again.

Such amazing value for money and the santa was so lovely with the kids and took time to speak with every child. All the staff were so friendly 6had such patience too. Great time had by all 11 of us and will do it again next year x thank you

User

My little boy and neice love coming here. We take them at least once a month. The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. The children especially love looking at the impressive model railway, pretending to drive the Birkenhead bus and having a ride on the tram. Highly recommended for young and old alike. Would love to see you be able to extend the tramway to Seacombe and New Brighton in the future.

User

Lovely little museum. Free to enter and see the model railway, little street, motorbikes, trams and selection of buses, some which you can go on board. Lots of info and model buses etc to look at. Take a little ride on a tram for a small fee to Woodside were you can get off or stay and ride back to the museum. Little hidden gem kids would love.

User

I love this place and what you do. You have found and are restoring the last warrington tram. Thank you for that, what a brilliant thing to do! Today was wonderful!

User

I enjoyed it far more than I should have

User

Had a lovely afternoon visit here today it wasn't planned , it was just by chance and it brought me a memory of my grandad when I was a little girl which I was so thankful for , the vintage trams were stunning and enjoyed all the other vintage vehicles , was a lovely man named Dave who greeted us on our entrance and made us welcome .

User

Great volunteers who obviously love what they do. We were looked after so well. My little boy had a great day and has asked all evening to go back and see “the tram man” tomorrow. We loved the new cafe and renovations. Thanks for a brilliant afternoon.

User

For the train loving 2 year old (who thinks buses and trams are trains!) this place is brill. The volunteers on the trams are great and obviously love what they do. We love it here and can’t wait for the Christmas special.

User

Fantastic little gem. So glad to be able to visit again, since the refurbishment. The place looks fantastic. Appealing to young and old and everybody in-between.

User

Fabulous transport museum and the tram ride from the ferry is such fun it deserves a 6 Star rating. We got a private tour of the latest tram restoration project which was fascinating. Brilliant model railway, hard to see how the place could be any better, a real gem!

User

Can visit to the Transport Museum today on the Santa special. We spent a lovely couple of hours there with my two sons chatting to Santa, then doing the treasure hunt and looking around the museum. We have been many times and love going so can't wait until the new renovations are done! Thanks guys and merry Xmas!

User

Can I thank everyone on the tram and at the transport museum who helped make my Mum's 88th birthday so special this week. Everyone was so friendly. We all had a fantastic time and Mum thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing about travelling on the old transport. Will definitely visit again and will recommend.

User

Been a few times all good hoping to bring my twin boys for the first time on Wednesday before we come back to South Wales

User

A "hidden Gem". Great visit today, treated like royalty by Peter and team. A dedicated group of enthusiastic and friendly people. So much to look at, not just Trams, Buses, cars and motorcycles. A whole social history in photographs and model displays made to be interesting for young and " not so young".

Thank you all for today. We will be back.

User

You've done a great job of tidying and brightening up the exhibits. Certainly worthy of encouraging others to visit! Facilities (toilets / café) much improved as well.
