The Heaton Park Tramway's latest special event took place over the weekend of Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd July - Tramtastic. With all four operational trams running in service on both days and trams on display the two days of the event gave the perfect opportunity for the Manchester Transport Museum Society to showcase their diverse fleet of trams. These photos all come from the first day of the event with the day starting with a parallel run featuring Manchester 765 and Stockport 5. Up at Lakeside Depot Blackpool pair 623 and 702 were on display to start the day whilst 765 and 5 ran in service. Hull 96 entered service briefly at lunchtime whilst 623 replaced 5 after lunch to complete the set of operational trams. The event also allowed the chance to see inside Lakeside Depot where a number of stored trams can be found whilst up at Middleton Road Depot Blackpool 619 remains under attention in the works.
