🚋 Who's excited to see the Saltburn Cliff Lift back where it belongs? ❤️

This has put a huge smile on my face.

After months of incredible craftsmanship, the brand-new tram carriages are finally back on the tracks,.

Did you know...

👉 It first opened in 1884.

👉 It's the oldest working water-balanced funicular in Britain.

👉 It's the second oldest in the world.

👉 For more than 140 years, it's carried millions of people between the town, beach and our iconic pier.

The new carriages have been handcrafted right here on Teesside, keeping all the character we know and love while ensuring the tramway can continue serving generations to come.

I know so many local families have been eagerly waiting for this moment after the devastating fire. Seeing the carriages back on the tracks really does feel like the final piece of the puzzle. ❤️

Who's planning to be one of the first to ride it when it reopens? 🚋👇
