A very interesting discovery was the ‘Vienna 2025: The First Ever WORLD Tram Driver Championships‘ from The Tim Traveller YouTube channel.
This is something that could be a great UK wide event, and could help to raise the profile of tram systems more broadly; I mean, who DOESN’T was to watch Tram Bowling?!?
Perhaps even heritage trams could participate, and maybe have a ‘Celebrity Tram Driver Championship’ as an unexplored TV possibility? Any royalities to me please!
It would also be great to see a similar extension to ordinary trains too; perhaps using one of the test tracks around the UK?
