It looks as if it\u2019s a busy day judging by the passengers sat on the end bench seats and the likelihood is that it is a Market Day, hence why the crowds are keen to get to Fleetwood. A lone lady on a bike is about to be passed by the tram as they both head north along the road.<\/p>\n<p>In this photo we can see that <strong>701<\/strong> is in the original green and cream livery style, a livery that it had received back in the winter of 1998\/9. Completely devoid of external advertising the tram also has the familiar late 1990s style of block capital and florescent yellow destination blinds.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32643\" style=\"width: 382px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=32643\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-32643\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32643\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-32643\" title=\"701-jj\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/701-jj-372x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"372\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/701-jj-372x550.jpg 372w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/701-jj-693x1024.jpg 693w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/701-jj.jpg 872w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-32643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Jonathan Jarvis<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we feature another Balloon Car as we dip into the Blackpool archives once more with the time machine ending up some 20 years ago in the year 2000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,35],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32642"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32642"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32642\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32646,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32642\/revisions\/32646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
