In Pictures: A return visit to Carlton Colville

In this latest trip to the East Anglia Transport Museum we see two Blackpool trams in service, another at rest in the depot and some other general views around the museum sight as they enter the final few weeks of their main 2024 season. Bryan Grint paid a visit on Sunday 6th October.

The two trams in service on this visit were Blackpool Brush 634 and Blackpool Standard 159. They are seen at Chapel Road with the double decker looking like it set to be the next departure into the woods.

159 is joined in this photo by the operational trolleybus for the day – Belfast 246.

634 comes back to Chapel Road with the depot in the background and Sheffield 513 at the front.

Three in a row at Chapel Road – all electric vehicles and apparently obsolete technology. 634, 159 and trolleybus 246.

In the depot and Blackpool Marton VAMBAC 11 was taking a day off.

Visiting the museum on this day was this former West Yorkshire Bristol MW EUG 7 which was built in the nearby Eastern Coachworks in 1957. (All Photographs by Bryan Grint, 6th October 2024)
