The Shipley Glen Cable Tramway is the oldest working cable tramway in Great Britain (cliff lifts excepted) and dates from 1895. The tramway has had a lot of work done over the last few years a new cable fitted to haul the trams at a cost of £3900.

At the same time the top winding drum,dating back to 1895 and an original piece of tramway equipment, has had its worn out surface replaced by new steel sleeves costing £2600. The old winding drum surface gave 111 years of service. A new west platform at the bottom station has been built at a cost of £3900 to replace an old and deteriorating wooden platform.

The tramway volunteers have replaced the old Santa's Grotto at the top station with a new and larger building and also making a better access and exit to Santa's Grotto for visitors.The building is used to display the tramway's collection of memorabilia and photographs of the history of the Trollybus in Bradford.
