Blackpool Single Deckers 2008
On the next 10 pages are 23 photos of the single-decker trams of the Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway fleet as seen in service between 30th August and 6th September 2008. A fairly wide selection were in service inlcuding several trams which are supposed to be in the "Reserve Fleet". Although the weather was mainly grotty at the very start of the week there was sufficient sunshine to allow three Boats to put in appearances but probably the highlight was the use of two Twin Car sets at the end of the week. There are a maximum of three photos on each page and you can navigate between the photos by using the links at either the top of the page (just above this box) or at the bottom of the page "Next Page of Photos" or "Previous Page of Photos"). As always please enjoy the photos and any comments (positive or negative) please contact me by email at the usual address.

Boat 600 has had a repaint into the same livery style this year and has also gone all patriotic with the Union Flag and red, white and blue lights as well as receiving the name Duchess of Cornwall. The tram is seen operating a special through to Cleveleys on 30th August 2008.
Another view of 600, on a return journey to Depot. It is seen at Lowther Avenue, again on 30th August 2008.
