ANOTHER CENTENARY RETURNS TO SERVICE IN PLAIN COLOURS
Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway – Sunday 10th May 2009

Blackpool Centenary 643 has now returned to service following the removal of its advertising vinyls for G Casino leaving a mainly black (with white ends) base coat. The tram has had Metro Coastlines vinyls added to the sides. This now means that half of the eight strong fleet are running in plain base colours, hopefully at least one of these may receive a repaint into something a little more inspiring at some point in the future! Click below for a photo.

643 is seen at Cleveleys with its “new” livery. The tram was caught on 9th May whilst operating the Starr Gate-Fleetwood service.
