Discover Buxton’s red tram took visitors on historic tours of the town after its launch in 2013. The converted milk float also carried people to weddings, proms and the Buxton carnival.
In July 2023 the tram left Buxton. The operator said ongoing maintenance costs and difficulty keeping it reliably on the road had made the service unsustainable.
The original 2023 article paid tribute to the tram’s drivers and the people who supported its tours.
Discover Buxton continues to offer private heritage experiences; contact the operator for current arrangements.
The museum’s former Peak Buildings site had also closed in 2023 for structural investigations. It reopened in a temporary home next to Buxton Library in October 2026.
