Over the weekend of 11th and 12th May the East Anglia Transport Museum at Carlton Colville went to the seaside with a special 1950s seaside celebration. Whilst the highlight of the weekend was the relaunch into service of Hastings trolleybus 34 after the completion of its restoration and former Hastings trolleybus Happy Harold (which now works under diesel power) visited from Sussex the trams weren’t left out and, as would be expected at a seaside event, Blackpool trams featured heavily – Standard 159 and Marton VAMBAC 11. Trevor Hall visited for the first day of the event as shown in the below photos.
* We will have more photos from the event in a future weekend update of British Trams Online. Got some photos you would like to share? Please email them to gareth@britishtramsonline.co.uk.
