a brake van built in 1875 to the tramway. Motive power was provided by GER Class G15 0-4-0T tram engines, three of which were built in 1883 for the opening of the line; a further seven were built between 1885 and 1897, some for the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway and others for the Yarmouth Union tramway and freight-only lines at Colchester and Ipswich. Those used on the tramway were stabled at March Depot. The first four coaches were scrapped in 1890, when they were replaced by four new four-wheeled vehicles, which were again numbered 1 to 4. Between 1903 and 1921, the Great Eastern Railway built a fleet of twelve GER Class C53 0-6-0T tram engines, up to five of which were based at Wisbech – the others worked at Yarmouth, Colchester and Ipswich. In accordance with Board of Trade regulations, the tram engines were fitted with sideplates and cowcatchers. When the line opened, passenger services were provided by six trams a day in each direction, with the journey taking one hour in either direction. By October 1884 the tramway was carrying 3,000 passengers per week, while for fetes and other special events as many as 2,000 passengers a day were carried. The tram competed with the Wisbech Canal that also ran between Wisbech and Upwell. The canal was struggling financially when the tramway opened, and although there was some transfer of coal between the railway and canal at Outwell, the tramway gradually took its trade, and it closed in 1922. Trains on the tramway were limited to , and passengers could be picked up or dropped off at any point on the line. Most trains were mixed, with the passengers often having to wait while goods wagons were shunted. From 1904, the speed limit was increased to , and the trains only stopped at designated places, although this included a number of request stops, as well as the formal stations. Under the terms of the Railways Act 1921, the Great Eastern Railway amalgamated with other railways to create the London and North Eastern Railway at the start of 1923. By that time the tramway was facing increased competition from motorised buses, and the passenger service ended in 1927. Carriages 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 were transferred to the Kelvedon and Tollesbury Light Railway in Essex. Coach 8 appeared in the 1953 film The Titfield Thunderbolt after passenger
