Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway Double-Deckers September 2007
As usual in the first week of September, British Trams Online webmaster Gareth Prior was in Blackpool for the sights and sounds of the Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway. Over the next eight pages are images of the double-decker trams in the fleet during the week. There are 22 photos in this gallery this does not include trams such as Standard 147 and Bolton 66 as they are classed as "other trams" as they are more special than the Balloons and Jubilees listed here. (As ever you can access the photos by using the links at either the top or bottom of the page)

Balloon 712 has kept its 1970s Green & Cream livery for 2007. This image shows the tram on the Pleasure Beach loop on 2nd September 2007.
Having lost its advertising vinyls for Asda Balloon 713 is now in plain white with side "T" adverts for Fleetwood Freeport. 713 is captured here at Tower on 8th September 2007.
A pleasant surprise at the end of the week was the use of Balloon 715 in service - this tram was not meant to be in use according to the new operating pools - and the tram is seen in this view at Tower on 8th September. Like 713, 715 has received "T" adverts for Fleetwood Freeport on its plain white base coat.
