BLACKPOOL BRUSH 631 BECOMES THE NEW WALLS TRAMS
Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway – Sunday 15th July 2007

With Balloon 719 having now lost its all over advert for Walls Ice Cream, Brush 631 has stepped into the breach and has received a red based design for the same sponsor.

Neither tram has run in service since this occurrence and join 719 out of service which still awaits its Pleasure Beach Infusion vinyls.
