The number of photos taken on Fleetwood Esplanade of trams either at the old Fleetwood Ferry loading stops or just passing by on their way back to Blackpool is probably in the millions by now and today that is the location we are at for the latest delve into the archives.<\/p>\n
In this view we have two trams in situ \u2013 a Balloon Car and an OMO. Unfortunately neither tram is easily identifiable as the numbers can\u2019t be seen on the trams but the OMO car \u2013 which is in the original Plum and Custard livery carried by this class and also has roof advert boxes \u2013 is loading passengers through the front entrance as it prepares to embark on a full length journey to Starr Gate. Alongside the Balloon Car doesn\u2019t seem ready to return to Blackpool just yet as its destination blind is still set to Fleetwood. The Balloon carries between decks adverts for Empire Pools and has the Corporation crests on the lower panels.<\/p>\n
