| Heaton Park acquire four Blackpool Trams - and need your help! |
|
|
The Heaton Park Tramway have announced that they have acquired four trams from Blackpool Transport - Brush 623, Ex-Towing Railcoach 680 and Balloon Cars 702 and 704. Of these trams the first three are in operational condition whilst 704 is considered a long-term restoration project. In order to help the tramway acquire and transport the four trams the Manchester Transport Museum Society need funds and if the appeal is succesful enough further trams may be acquired in the future. To find out more details and how to help visit this link which takes you directly to the donation form.
