Central Tramway in Scarborough set themselves a challenge during the last two weeks of the summer holiday 2024 to cycle 200 kilometres to celebrate the RNLI's 200th anniversary.
The general manager, Colin Powel completed the challenge on a cycling machine at one of the tramway entrances and placed several donation buckets around their premises, raising £925.24 for the charity.
