Gallery 528: Heaton Park Tramway Welcomes Blackpool 280 - 26th April 2015

The arrival of Blackpool 280 at the Heaton Park Tramway provided the perfect excuse to stage a spectacular Blackpool tram event on Sunday 26th April 2015. As well as being 280's first day in passenger service at its new home, the day also saw three other trams - Blackpool Vanguard 619, Blackpool Brush 623 and Manchester 765 - in service, with two further Blackpool trams - Railgrinder 1 and Balloon 702 - on display. With a procession, some superb line-ups and a few other surprises this was another first class event from Manchester's heritage tramway and this gallery shows the highlights of the day.
