Lisbon Tram No.305 finds a new use in Dublin |
Five years later, the former Lisbon 305 has regained her original number
and has been converted into "The Tram Cafe" now located in Dublin

The Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Tramway Society wishes the new owners every success with latest phase in the life
of 305
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bogies and running gear have been retained by the Ll&CBTramSoc for possible future use - as was always the Society's original
long-term intention
