Rebecca Brightman, 16, is following in her mother's footsteps by becoming a tram conductor.
Volunteer tram driver Sarah Brightman said she was "thrilled" to see her daughter Rebecca qualify as a conductorA mother and daughter have become the first to crew vintage trams together at a transport museum in Derbyshire.
Volunteer tram driver Sarah Brightman first took her daughter Rebecca to Crich Tramway Village when she was only five weeks old. Rebecca has now qualified as a tram conductor at the age of 16, and hopes to become a driver in the future."Being here kind of just changed me completely," she said. "I used to be extremely quiet, even in school I was quiet, until I started conducting here. I've just been talking non-stop."Crich Tramway Village has had father and son duos before, but has never had a mother and daughter crew until now.
Sarah said she was "thrilled" when her daughter qualified at the museum, which she had visited regularly since she was a baby."She would hang around and ride on the trams. It was like a second home to her."She became a tram driver in 2001, and Rebecca was born in 2007.Recalling the first time Rebecca went on a tram, her mother said: "We brought her here, she was five weeks old, she was in a little car seat and she was totally oblivious to everything.
