And that tram needs no introduction as it was Balloon 700. Repainted over summer 2021 into a new coat of wartime green and cream fleet livery – replacing its purple and white modern livery – the tram finally entered service during December 2021 and was used on a couple of occasions before it was allocated to Promenade and Coastal Tours on 8th January 2021. Although keeping all of its B fleet modifications 700 certainly looks the heritage part now and is seen here waiting at a damp North Pier and Tower heritage stop before embarking on its Coastal Tour to Fleetwood.
