This fascinating, but undated photo shows Brush Car 634<\/strong> standing at Fleetwood Ferry when in the Half Green\/Half Cream livery complete with orange trolley tower. This simplified livery style was seen on many trams in the fleet during the late 1960s\/1970s period and although quite as stylish as the original swooping lines of livery once carried still has its many fans. A similar style return to the Blackpool Tramways on Twin Car 675+685<\/strong> during its last overhaul a few years ago. Back to this shot and 634<\/strong> is blinded for Manchester Square and an expected return to depot. In the background it would appear that a crew member is striding purposefully back to the tram which suggests departure may be imminent.<\/p>\n
