Tramffordd y Gogarth - The Great Orme Tramway

Tramffordd y Gogarth - The Great Orme Tramway
This is Great Britain's only remaining cable-operated street tramway and one of few surviving in the world. It takes passengers from Llandudno Victoria Station to just below the summit of the Great Orme headland. Operation of the tramway differs from the better-known San Francisco system in that it is not a cable car but, rather, operates on the funicular principle where the cars are permanently fixed to the cable and are stopped and started by stopping and starting the cable. As one car is ascending, the other is descending, and they meet midway. (Credit - Wikipedia.)

I spent a while wondering where the overhead power cable was for those 'trolley bus" power pick ups, guess the trams are recycled from a previous existence
9 years ago.
