June 2024 finally saw the North Station line in Blackpool open to the public. Before official public services began there were a number of special trips which ran - including the first use of a heritage tram with passengers on the line. That was Balloon 700 (although it being a B fleet car possibly isn't officially part of the heritage fleet) and its seen here on one of those trips as it leaves the North Station terminus compound on its way back down Talbot Road to the Prom.
