This fact\u00a0has been repeatedly mentioned in the Fylde Tramway News, but the advert is still being\u00a0paraded along the tramway\u00a0for all to see.\u00a0\u00a0It is sincerely hoped that <strong>010<\/strong> will receive new adverts soon, perhaps for this summer&#8217;s shows at the Grand Theatre. If this does not happen, hopefully the expired pantomime adverts will be removed as soon as possible, as it would be very poor practice if the show continues to be advertised on the tram during the school summer holidays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>010<\/strong>&#8216;s adverts are a reminder of past times when summer season show adverts were often retained for several months after expiry, with <strong>Centenary car 647<\/strong> (now preserved in the North East) suffering this indignity several times during the early nineties, when it carried a succession of different liveries advertising various shows at The Opera House.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3990\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=3990\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3990\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3990\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3990\" title=\"010\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/010-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/010-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/010-550x365.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/010.jpg 1624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3990\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Highlighted by glorious sunshine, 010 shows off its colourful adverts for Cinderalla at the Grand Theatre, as it passes through North Pier during the recent late May Bank Holiday weekend.
