The Bluebird operated on Leeds' tram system during the 1950s and has recently been renovated.
A tram car that ran on Leeds' light rail network in the 1950s has had its wheels set in motion for the first time in almost 70 years.
After ferrying passengers around the city for six years, Leeds' tram network was wound down and the tram car went on to become a museum showpiece. It has now gone on display at the National Tramway Museum in Crich, Derbyshire, with the vehicle taken for its latest test run on Wednesday morning.Ian Ross, who has volunteered at the museum since the 1960s, said restoring Bluebird had been a "major exercise".
