14 june 2009 - Lille (FR) – Wambrechies. Tramway Touristique de la Vallee de la Deule. The first TWB pictures of this working electric tramway museum on the edge of Lille. A metre gauge line has been built alongside a canal for about 3km, on which various trams run on Sundays and holidays. Some trams have been restored and others wait in store, together with a number of historic buses. This is a tram from the Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing interurban line, waiting at Wambrechies village as a London-Paris Eurostar train crosses above.

14 june 2009 - Lille (FR) – Wambrechies. Tramway Touristique de la Vallee de la Deule. A closer look at the big ELRT interurban car. The museum group who operate this line (AMITRAM) has a number of Lille cars in store, as well as various trams from other cities. Hopefully, some of them will eventually run here when they have been restored. The group has just announced that they are disposing of some non-Lille trams and buses, so look at their web site if you would like one!

14 june 2009 - Lille (FR) – Wambrechies. Tramway Touristique de la Vallee de la Deule. The big ELRT interurban passes a row of attractive cottages along the banks of the canal. These trams were displaced by second-hand German cars in the 1980s and can no longer run on the Mongy, where the voltage has been raised from 600v to 750v.

14 june 2009 - Lille (FR) – Marquette. An ex-ELRT bogie tram running on the museum line near Lille. These trams were built as long ago as 1910, but some were modernised and ran the Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing service until the 1960s. This nice little line was specially built alongside the local canal and operates on summer weekends.

14 june 2009 - Lille (FR) – Marquette. One of the passing loops on the line. The roadway between the track and the canal is the old towpath, which is now used mainly as a cycle path. The light aircraft is taking off from a nearby field.

14 june 2009 - Lille (FR) – Marquette. Two trams passing at one of the loops. The metre-gauge track was built specially for the museum and wasn’t here before. Lille city trams (which reached places not far from here) ran on standard-gauge track.
