Gallery 941: Picture in Time Special - Blackpool Tramway September 2005

We head back to September 2005 for this selection of photos taken on the pre-upgraded Blackpool Tramway. While 2005 was a long time after the heyday of the tramway there is still plenty of interest here and if you like lots of different liveries then this is the era for you! With advertising liveries in abundance - some better than others! - there are also many trams in standard fleet colours (in the style of different eras) and some vheicles can also be seen in the modern Metro Coastlines colours. In this collection we see Balloons, Boats, Brush Cars, Centenary Cars and Twin Cars as well as Illuminated Trams, Standard 147, Coronation 660 and Bolton 66 at various places across the tramway during a week long visit in early September. Including several unrepeatable scenes this is how the tramway was 16 years ago so sit back and relax as we look back to 2005!
