Lovely little historic attraction with cheerful volunteers in charge. It's a short journey up, but very pretty going through the woods and the ticket prices are very cheap. You can get out at the top platform to walk around the hilltop and visit the pub there, using a day rover ticket to go back down when you're ready. A real bonus is that they are happy to allow dogs on-board with you, making this an ideal little outing for all the family. Well worth supporting the hard work of volunteers here.

A hidden gem not far from Bradford in Shipley Glen country park area. Over 100 years of operation as a cable hauled tramway. Museum display and old time shop museum at the bottom station. Sweet shop selling all the old time favourites too.

Sweet shop at the top of the tramway is good but when we got to the bottom of the tramway we found out that it was not running for repairs but we had checked the website that morning and it said it was open and repairs took place last week very disappointed with them a disappointed customer. Ps:it was on the 6th of August 2017.

Beautiful historic attraction and fun day for kids and adults , beautiful scenic views

A real jewel in Shipley Glen's crown, the kids absolutely loved it. A fine way to travel up that steep hill up to all the beauty Shipley Glen has to offer. Apologies the 3 stars they where entered in error I has no idea I had done it until you bought it to my attention, thanks. I have posted my true feelings.

We went for the Santa Special. Very good value and a great Santa. Staff friendly and welcoming. Only problem was the 2 hour wait for the tram, followed by a further hour's wait at the top to see the Big Man. The tramway is run entirely by volunteers, many of them pensioners, and they don't have enough, so opening hours were an insufficient 12-4. The reasonable weather brought large crowds and I think they were simply overwhelmed- however to their credit they just got on processing the crowds as quickly as possible and did so remarkably cheerfully. Most of the customers took it in good part but some of the children were getting rather impatient. Really enjoyed the experience but I hope they can find a way to manage the crowds better in future. This is a gem of an attraction that needs support.

We visited this while on a long weekend in Saltaire. It was only open on Sunday in the off season. There is a small room with some information about the history and a sweet shop at the top. It’s a nice diversion if you are in the locality. Overall worth seeing as a part of local heritage if you are in Saltaire.

Went here to go see santa and have a ride on the tram. Both kids loved it and Santa was very good too. Great value for money and staff were all friendly and very welcoming. Will be back again.

Lovely little tram way ran by a great team. Very reasonable prices and the volunteers are great. One tip, ignore the satnav default location and search for the car park at the bottom instead

This has become a family favourite over the generations. Our youngest absolutely loves it and if you are visiting Saltaire on a weekend then this has to be on your “to do” list.

Lovely took the kids to see santa, the tramway is a big part of shipley and saltaire history ,and dates back to 1895, it was built to service the many other attractions at the top of the Glen such as the fair and the wooden toboggan ride ,all these have long gone but the tram remains, you can take it up the hill to have a nice walk along the Glen, and as we did go see santa ,the tram is kept open by volunteers and donations from people and businesses and a small charge for the ride.

Went in the santa special, booked it online this time got given a Time slot ,last year lots of people attended and they were a bit overwhelmed, all run by volunteers, it's a bit of a shame though all the top had been built on so just a nice walk over the glen

Nice little ride for the kids, there's a nice old fashioned sweet shop you can get your childhood favourites before going down the hill , friendly service too - definitely worth a visit.

I grew up near the top of the tramway, so have know it for many years. It’s a great historical attraction and surprising fun. We should be very grateful to the volunteers and charitable trust that keeps it going.

A lovely late Victorian cable tram set in the scenic Shipley Glen. This is a wonderful experience for individuals, couples and families alike. A must for all to visit and keep supporting this West Yorkshire treasure.

Staff very friendly enjoyed the event they put on for Halloween, definatlky worth the price for a day rider.

Brought back lovely childhood memories. Was great to see lots of people young, old n inbetween enjoying the tram. The mother and daughter who work in the gift shop at the top were very friendly, as were the rest of the staff.

It just makes you smile......from begin to end ....

Great old historical tramway.. short trip up to shipley glen with, Glen Pub, lovely old cafe & Bracken Hall nature reserve all worth a visit at the top.

Well worth a trip up on the tramway, good simple fun.

Brilliant nostalgic place

Excellent, well done all the volunteers who staff it.

Charming

A great woody walk . A steadily steep walk up the side of the railway get your circulation going. Usually the railway opens on Sundays, and Christmas time they usually have stuff going on for the kids. Then up to the woods to left of pub. Or carry on up to the Shipley Glen for a good walk. Worth a visit. Pub and cafe.

Absolutely lovely place. Great volunteers, always have a smile and willing to have a natter with people. Love the special events like the Santa Tram. Definitely worth buying a family year pass to go for a short ride to or from the glen.

Attended the Christmas /Santa special. 2 hours before it finished, we were told we are too late, but said we would go up the tram anyway for the experience. The rude man at the ticket office said card or exact fair only, then refused the cash 🤣 Otherwise it was exactly as we expected very enjoyable.

Fantastic little tramway. The staff were all so lovely and made my sons day. The day tickets are inexpencive and unlimited, so you can ride up and down a few times. The tramway itself is not big enough to fill the whole afternoon, but Roberts park across the road from the car park is lovely and has a cafe and play park. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip here and will be back again soon.

This was a fantastic attraction to ride, with cheap journey tickets and staff readily available to buy them! The tram is pulled up a glorious route driverless through the trees which has Christmas lights during winter, accompanied by decorations like a vintage wheelbarrow on the platforms. Last station has a mini exhibition showing the history of the tramway that was interesting, even shown with an old sign as the Tram Stop!

Lovely guys let us on even though tickets were sold out for the day had a wicked 3 minute ride and brought sweets from the shop

Interesting. Very helpful volunteer staff. Take the tram car up and have a leisurley walk down the path beside it.

Loved a trip up n down the tram way today with granddaughter ❤❤

Lovely nature trail unfortunately tram wasn't in operation but enjoyed the walk.

Service is a little slow for large.groups. but saying that, are family visiting really did enjoy their 1st visit on the tram. They were delighted from top to bottom they wanted to ride it all day long. Thank you

Fantastic little activity. Only a short ride but you can pay to ride up and down as much as you like for the day. Several groups of children were kept entertained for some time! Really lovely and scenic, and the volunteers are wonderful. There's free parking nearby with a short walk but it is used for visitors to multiple places so was extremely busy.

Loved the ride. It was a short but beautiful ride with greenery around.

Didn't personally ride the tram but the pathway through the little wood was beautiful. Very charming

A must visit if near by.

Loved this place as a kid!

We took the grandkids to visit santa and we thought what a gem hidden away. Great little tram and the people they was great. With a visit.

Great atmosphere , very friendly , free parking and cheap only cost £750 4 oaps and 1 adult travel up and down all day lovely old sweet shop at the top 😉😉

Nice little tramway, reasonably priced and something younger children will like.

It’s closed right now.

It's so lovely this tram is still up and running after all these years my parents took me on it when I was little and I've took my children on it I hope it's still there for many more years too come

Great old tram. Only bit not working was the modern ticket machine. Worth a visit and there's a pub at the top.

Went there as child born in Saltair village used to love Shipley Glen.

Staff were very friendly and accommodated 2 classes well.

A excellent place and a brilliant job the staff do

This is the oldest running cable train in the country still operating. A lovely place to visit especially with children.

Value for money

Lovely staff and a great place to take the kids

Beautiful place

Lovely ride. Perfect for kids.

Excellent place

A fine effort by local pensioners.

(Translated by Google) Short about 3 minutes drive. An experience for young and old. Inexpensive. (Original) Kurze ca. 3min Fahrt. Ein Erlebnis für jung und alt. Preiswert.

Great bit of nostalgia. Worth a visit.

Great little ride and all proceeds go to charity

Lovely old tramway built 1895,run entirely by volunteers,situated in a beautiful place at Shipley.👍👍

Really cool little piece of history maintained by lovely people, and cheap too. Great for kids, engineering geeks and adults who still have their inner child.

Amazing, my little boy loves going up and down on the Tram. Fantastic volunteers, everyone very friendly, just a really cool place.
