Over the years, we’ve received plenty of positive feedback from our customers, who’s opinions we LOVE to hear!

One such thing is the careful way we put effort into preserving this iconic piece of Scarborough’s rich history, with the hope of keeping it going for another 145 years!

However, we’ve noticed a change in air in 2026, and have decided to take on a new structural approach to the operation of the tramway.

That’s why we’ve introduced something super exciting…our new loop-the-loop! 🎢

If you’re looking for an exciting experience to add to the Victorian vibes, hop onto the Olympia tram for the thrill!

If it’s not your speed, don’t worry, the Grand tram still has the standard track.

We look forward to welcoming you down for this new addition this Easter! 🐣
