Gallery 788: Balloon 713 Branch Line Society Tour - 26th January 2019

On Saturday 26th January a special tour took place of the Blackpool Tramway on behalf of the Branch Line Society, covering track rarely used by passenger trams. Balloon 713 was the chosen tram but it was joined by Engineering Car 754 and Tow Truck 929 for unwired sections of track for even more added rareness. In this collection we feature a few images of the tour - including on board photos as the tram heads towards the Paint Shop - and also see some other views of the tramway both at Rigby Road Depot and also of heritage trams in service as part of the first Winter Gold weekend of 2019.
