Perhaps the most significant tram historically at NELSAM is Centenary Car 647. The last traditional standard gauge tram built for a UK tramway by East Lancashire Coachbuilders, the tram entered service in Blackpool in 1988 and was withdrawn at the end of traditional tramway operation in 2011. Acquired by the North Eastern Electrical Traction Trust (NEETT) there were plans which would have seen it receive an old school Blackpool tramway livery or red, white and teak but these have not been carried forward.
