Fleetwood Market Tuesday 2nd September 2008
Tuesdays have historically been one of the best days on the tramway all the way to the northern terminus at Fleetwood with many people of a certain age going to the famous Market there. With the new free travel for senior citizens on buses across England now introduced the tramway has suffered with less specials in operation. However, the 14 tram and 15 minute frequency timetable is still in operation. On Tuesday 2nd September 2008 the trams which made it through to Fleetwood were photographed and include a pleasant surprise in Princess Alice arriving on one of the few specials. The trams are show in order of their arrival and so the links at the top of the page do not give you a clue as to what is on each page, so it is pot luck! 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.

I couldn't resist adding another shot of 706 as it heads back to Pleasure Beach at Pharos Street. Needless to say soon after this photo was taken the heavens opened and I am sure those on the top deck got soaked!
Balloon 711 arrives at Bold Street with a route 14 service.
Jubilee 762 arrives at Fleetwood with just a small bit of journey to go. This photo is taken from the corner of Pharos Street.
