Birkenhead Tram 69 at Woodside
Tram number 69 is one of two Hong Kong trams specially built for the Wirral tramway in 1992 (running on standard 4ft 8˝in gauge tracks rather than the usual Hong Kong tram gauge of 3ft 6in). They are numbered 69 and 70 to follow on from the numbering of the original Birkenhead Corporation Tramways.

Wirral Tramway is a heritage tramway opened in 1995 by the Wirral Borough Council and operated by Blackpool Transport Services until 2005 when the council took over the licence to run the tramway. At present, the service operates on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, plus school holidays.
