In the late 1980s, the Summerlee Transport Group (STG) was formed, in order to support the maintenance and operation of the tramway. The original tramway used to terminate only 300 yards from the entrance at the timber shed, before the extension of the Gartsherrie Branch canal bridge and thence towards the Miners' Cottages.

Summerlee, Coatbridge

Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life is an industrial and social history museum in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland.

The machine at Summerlee Museum is a boiled‑sweet mixing and forming machine used in the production of Oddfellows, one of the best‑known traditional Scottish sweets. King’s of Wishaw specialised in boiled sweets, and Oddfellows were among their most famous products. The factory could produce around 3,000 Oddfellows per minute, showing the industrial scale of what was still a local, family‑rooted business.
