Blackpool 634 is now back in service with it carrying its first passengers since 2004 during a special launch event at the East Anglia Transport Museum on Good Friday, 29th March 2024. Carrying a “Terror Tram” livery 634 – which remains owned by the Fylde Transport Trust – had its commissioning completed at the museum since arriving last November and was one of four trams to run at the event, all of which have called Blackpool home at one time. In this photo we see 634 at Chapel Road terminus on 29th March 2024. (Photograph by Gareth Prior)
