The Christchurch Trams have returned to the heart of Christchurch. The trams have been stored temporarily at the Ferrymead Heritage Park since the Canterbury earthquakes but have been carefully transported by loader truck back to where they really belong. While in storage the trams have been repaired and carefully maintained. Each tram has been fitted with new screens and audio video content to show visitors what Christchurch looked like before the quakes and what they could look like in the future. There’s gleaming new paint, shiny metal work, glossy varnished wood and authentic period sign

Tram 11: “The Boxcar” This cheerful little red 28-seater, built in Philadelphia, , served Dunedin for decades and came to Christchurch for restoration in the 1990s. Its seats run the length of the car, rather than face forward with a central aisle as is usual.
