For this “Out and About” we’re in Blackpool for some shots taken outside Starr Gate Depot.
Its not often that you get four Flexity2s for the price of one photo! This image is taken from the platforms at the Starr Gate terminus and shows two trams passing as they run the timetabled service whilst the headshunt is occupied by two further trams. On the left is 002 which is heading to Fleetwood Ferry and about to terminate will be 008. Note also that both trams have poppies in the cabs.
We can then take a closer look at those trams which are stabled in the headshunt. The main tram here is 006 with 017 joining it on the right. 006 is still carrying its long standard Tunnocks adverts but has also recently seen heart attack adverts added.
