Almost forgotten with all the publicity surrouding her sister is Coronation 660 which has always been in Blackpool. The tram still operates specials in Blackpool and is expected to soon undergo its first overhaul for a number of years. This picture is at Pleasure Beach on 7 September 2003.
Standard 147 has now become an established member of the 'vintage' fleet following its restoration and regularly operates weekend specials and illumination tours. On 13 September 2003 the tram is stabled at Bispham whilst on lunch break.
Another popular tram for the 'vintage' service and normally second choice for illumination tours is Bolton 66. The tram was captured during a shunting move at depot on 12 September 2003.
The other 'foreign' member of the Blackpool tram fleet is Sheffield Roberts Car 513. The tram also operates mainly specials although is currently restricted to the tramway south of Cabin. 513 is seen as Cabin on 13 September 2003.
