Crich Derbyshire England United Kingdom - The whole village was temporarily closed after an
inspection by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) highlighted two areas of concern.
After completion of detailed repairs on the traction pole in the main street near the Red Lion pub, the restriction has
been formally lifted, allowing access to the main street, refreshments, shops, Stephenson's Discovery Centre, Workshop
Viewing Gallery, and Eagle Press.
The other restriction on the Depot Fan, where the trams enter and exit the depots requires more extensive work by
external contractors, and as such the tram depots, Exhibition Hall, and indoor play area remain closed, and it is
therefore not possible to move and operate trams.
Dr. Mike Galer, general manager at Crich Tramway Village, said, "We take safety very seriously at the Museum and
we are opening the areas which are no longer under a safety restriction to visitors. Our Great British Seaside Event
planned for Saturday, 28 May 2022 to Saturday, 4 Jun 2022 will go ahead with the entertainment planned, but without the
trams running. Since we cannot operate our trams and still have some areas closed, we are offering a discounted day
entry price of just £10 for adults and offering free admission to children. Those visitors wishing to purchase
free return tickets may still do so at our standard prices, so that they can return when all areas are fully accessible
again."
Updates for reopening can be found at our website and social media internet sites.
Tickets should be purchased on arrival, as the discounted day tickets are not available online.
