Tracklaying early in 1984

During the winter of 1983/84 the track fan in front of Depot II was relaid for the second time.
Depot II was the first Atcost building at Crich and was built to hold 6 trams. Rail from the former Crich Mineral Railway was laid on wooden sleepers in the depot and the trams man-handled in using lengths of temporary rail which were then taken up. Over the years the depot was extended forwards and the track fan from the Douglas Head Marine Drive tramway in the Isle of Man was laid to give access to the trams. The rail inside the depot was replaced with grooved tram rail and the floor concreted. Finally in 1983/84 the DHMD rail was replaced with grooved tram rail.
