| East Anglian Transport Museum Events Added |
News Headlines |
| The Diary of Events has now been updated with details of two forthcoming events at the East Anglian Transport Museum near Lowestoft. Although the two events are not specifically tram based (one being a bus event and the other a trolleybus event) the museum of course has a tramway and trams from Amsterdam, Blackpool and London operating the service. Why not give this friendly museum a visit? Their website can be found here. |

| Blackpool Fleet List Updated |
|
| Following requests the Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway Fleet List has been updated with details of the operating pools for 2008. I have tried something a better different with the fleet list and have colour coded those trams currently in the operational fleet, reserve fleet and those that are mothballed. It is only an experiment at the moment and I don't know whether it is going to work but please let me know at the usual email address as to whether you like or not or even if you have any suggestions to improve the fleet list. |
| Please use the Amazon links |

|
On a lot of the pages of British Trams Online there is an advert for amazon.co.uk, the online retailer. These take you directly to the amazon website where you can buy all sorts of goods such as CDs, DVDs and books and is part of an affiliate status we have with them. This enables us to get a small percentage of money for any purchases people make having reached their site through the adverts. I have not received a payment for over a year from this and so urge you if you ever buy anything from amazon to please use this adverts - it costs you no extra and any payments I receive will go to a tram restoration group or scheme to be decided.

| All Blue Livery for Railcoach 680 |
 |
|
Blackpool Railcoach 680 has returned to service in a plain blue livery having lost its advertising vinyls for the Joey Blower Show at the Merrie England Showbar, North Pier. It is expected to be a short lived livery as new vinyls are expected for the same sponsor.
