Blackpool Double Deckers 2008
16 pages and 36 photos follow with the double-decker tans of the Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway fleet as seen in service between 30th August and 6th September 2008. The majority of these are of course the Balloon Cars with 17 different trams of this class making apperances during the week, including 724 which is meant to be in the "Reserve Fleet", in addition the two Jubilee Cars were also out and about. 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.

Although supposedly part of the Reserve Fleet Balloon 724 was a fairly regular performer on the main service throughout the week. It is seen coming from the Depot and across the Prom road on 4th September 2008.
724 seen at Bispham on 6th September 2008.
Balloon 726 has kept its HM Coastguard all over advert. The saloon lights may be shining brightly but the tim is barely 1500 showing how grotty the weather was on 31st August. The location is Tower.
