The Beamish tramway fulfils a dual function - it provides a transport system and also gives visitors a period tramride experience.

The fleet of trams consists of several carefully restored trams most of which date from the early years of the century. The tramway runs in a circle for over a mile with tramstops in The Town and near the other main areas of the Museum.
During the summer season a replica bus carries visitors between The Town and The Colliery Village. It is a copy of a double-deck bus owned by Gateshead Tramways in 1913.
Horse-drawn buses and charabancs were once a common sight and during the summer, visitors can often ride over part of the site in one of two charabancs.
