Another edition of “Out and About” and we’re going to the southern end of the Blackpool Tramway where it’s a double helping of adverts.
For a time during the late summer and early autumn, there were three trams on the Blackpool Tramway which carried full vinyl wrap advertising liveries and here we see two of them sitting at Starr Gate tram stop. Its just after 1940 in the evening and 012 on the right – advertising Pleasure Beach – is getting ready to depart with a service to Fleetwood Ferry and the scrolling destination display tells us that this particular working will go via North Station. Meanwhile, 014 just heads back to depot having terminated and now changed its display to Sorry Not In Service. The terminating tram is in its Wednesday advert, which has since been removed.
