15 Years Apart: Bolton 66

It’s the only non-Blackpool tram to be part of the operational heritage in Blackpool that features in this latest edition of “15 Years Apart”.

Bolton 66 has now been in Blackpool for an incredible 40 years and when we captured it on camera on 9th September 2006 it was carrying special illuminations to add a little bit of extra interest for the annual Illuminations in the town. This includes a star with the number 66 between the decks and a sponsorship shield on the front dash. At this point in time it also had further external advertising for Acdo. The location is Tower.

By the time this second photo was taken – 25th September 2021 – the external advertising (and illuminations) had been removed giving the tram a much cleaner look as we see it here at Cabin heading south to Pleasure Beach.
