This follows a short circular route, part of which runs near to the lake known as Horsehay Pool.

The tram and 16-seat coach were built by Alan Keef Ltd for the Telford Development Corporation, first running on Saturday 8 September 1979.

[1] The tram and coach originally ran in Telford Town Park alongside Randlay Pool, on about 300 yd (270 m) of the trackbed of the former Coalport Branch Line,[1] on the Telford Town Tramway which was opened by the Reverend W. Awdry, who named the tram Thomas, on 9 April 1980[2][3] but did not last very long there.

The tram moved to its present site in 1988 and opened on 27 September 1992 at Horsehay.

Steam trams were at one time a fairly familiar sight, as in the last years of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century, they were used in several towns and cities in the UK.
