The Balloon Car is in an all over advert for The 3 Piers (that\u2019s North, Central and South in case you weren\u2019t aware) which was this tram\u2019s second ever all over advert and unlike many adverts nowadays featured many bright colours publicising the attractions on each of the piers. <strong>707<\/strong> is probably heading to Pleasure Beach but a twisted blind means that Manchester (from Manchester Square) is also show in the destination aperture.<\/p>\n<p>The Jubilee Car alongside was only introduced into service during 1979 and is still in original condition including the standard fleet livery and Corporation crests above the destination blind. And speaking of the destination blind the tram is heading along to Bispham.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25762\" style=\"width: 547px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=25762\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-25762\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25762\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25762\" title=\"761+707-pg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/761+707-pg-537x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"537\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/761+707-pg-537x550.jpg 537w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/761+707-pg-1000x1024.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/761+707-pg.jpg 1282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 537px) 100vw, 537px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-25762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Peter Gough<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a couple of weeks of \u201csorry we don\u2019t know what the trams are\u201d we are back to being able to identify the trams in this weeks Blackpool Picture in Time image.
