Centenary Cars 3
For the first time in many years all eight class members are now available for service following the return to service of 648 after its mid-life refurbishment (645 has also returned to service after last years "Week in Blackpool"). These trams are used both as one person operated trams and also as Railcoaches with a conductor as well as a driver. 647 did not make an appearance in service during the week.

Only re-entering service following the application of a new all over advert for Vue Cinema, Cleveleys on 4 September, Centenary 648 is seen here at Tower on 7 September 2006. The tram has recently undergone a "heritage" type overhaul meaning it has a different looking "traditional" front end - retaining smaller destination boxes.
