As we continue our look at those trams which ran during the final weekend of traditional tramway operation in Blackpool we reach the second of the Jubilee Cars \u2013 762<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

762<\/strong>\u2019s future was already secured by this time with a move to the Crich Tramway Village set, and as such it would only run on the first day of the weekend \u2013 Saturday 5th November 2011. 762<\/strong> made the most of its last day with it being used throughout the evening on the service between Pleasure Beach and Little Bispham. It returned to depot for the last time shortly before midnight before preparations then started for its move to Crich.<\/p>\n

762<\/strong> was soon moved from Blackpool to Derbyshire but would not carry passengers until 13th September 2014, with a period of testing and commissioning having preceded this date. It has since settled into regular operation at the museum, including its very own \u201cPurple Tram days\u201d. Keeping its Nickelodeon Land advert, it has proven to be popular with children wanting a ride on \u201cSpongebob\u201d, although that doesn\u2019t necessarily extend to some enthusiasts who would rather see it in a more traditional livery.<\/p>\n

Shortly after 2130 on 5th November 2011, 762 is seen at Pleasure Beach about to embark on a service for Cabin. This was the last night of operation in Blackpool for the tram.<\/p><\/div>\n
