A Great Orme Tramway car nears the Great Orme summit.

The Great Orme Tramway (Welsh: Tramffordd y Gogarth) is a cable-driven 3 ft 6 in (1066 mm) gauge tramway in Llandudno in north Wales. It is Great Britain's only remaining cable operated street tramway and one of only three surviving in the world. Operation of the tramway differs from the famous and unique San Francisco system in that it is a street funicular, where the cars are permanently fixed to the cable and are stopped and started by stopping and starting the cable.
