If you’ve ever been to Blackpool and have hung around Pleasure Beach for any length of time you will probably have seen a colony of wild rabbits running around the grassed area looking for food. As its Easter and we all love a bunny at Easter in this pictorial article we take a look at trams and rabbits plus a photo from the archives showing when the loop was relaid in 2008. Peter Dockerty with the images.
With Standard 147 standing on the loop a rabbit poses in the foreground alongside the Venus Reborn Illumination tableau.
Back in 2008 and work to relay the track on the loop was well underway in this photo. As can be seen the rails were bolted straight onto the concrete slab. (Both Photographs by Peter Dockerty)
