The annual Fleetwood Transport Festival including Tram Sunday took place last Sunday (15th July). The event saw Blackpool Coronation 304 stabled at the Ferry terminus with Blackpool & Fleetwood Box 40, Blackpool Standard 147, Blackpool Boat 605, Blackpool Brush 623, Blackpool Balloon 700 and Stockport 5 seeing use on the Ash Street to North Pier shuttle service. 5 replaced Bolton 66 at the last minute due to a fault.
One of the highlights of the Tram Sunday event was the still popular Brush 623 in ints Wartime Green & Cream livery. The tram was employed on the Ash Street to North Pier shuttles but was also stbled at Fleetwood for a time. In this view we see 623 with Standard 147 behind at Ash Street.
