The ebay auction raised a grand sum of £417.98
A number of NET employees dressed up as various characters such as Tiger, Austin Powers, Whinnie the Pooh, Darf Vader were out on the trams collecting money for RND05. In addition some of the tram crews also got into the spirit of RND05 by using "rouge" to give themselves bright red cheeks and noses.
Tours of the depot were given for a minimum donation of £10. Tours were held on 3 days, with a tour at 11am and 6pm.
