In the wake of the cancellation of the Trans Lancs Rally because of ground conditions on the rally ground in Heaton Park the Heaton Park Tramway organised a short-notice late summer event which saw all three operational passenger trams in service with stored trams on display plus a model tram exhibition in the Middleton Road Depot \u2013 all combining to fill in the gap in the special events calendar. Steve Kemp visited as seen in the below photos.<\/p>\n

Manchester 765 and Blackpool 623 stand at Lakeside with the Brush Cars trolley already turned for its next trip along the line.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The third passenger tram available for service is Hull 96 and we see it here at Middleton Road Gates.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Work is continuing on the overhaul of Stockport 5 and whilst it isn\u2019t ready for a return just yet it was displayed outside Middleton Road Depot.<\/p><\/div>\n

As was Blackpool 619. Another tram enjoying workshop attention this tram still requires various jobs to be completed \u2013 not least the fitting of seats! \u2013 before it too enjoys a period of operation again.<\/p><\/div>\n

Outside Lakeside Depot and stored cars Blackpool 702 and Manchester 173 were on display. Manchester 765 can also be seen in the background.<\/p><\/div>\n
