For a group of trams which are stored in a private compound with no public access the trams owned by the Fleetwood Heritage Trust \u2013 and currently for sale with the collection being disbanded \u2013 seem to get a lot of comment online and that has continued recently with comedian Johnny Vegas recently visiting Wyre Dock to see them in a pre-arranged visit, complete with film crew.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earlier this year Channel 4 broadcast a new series \u201cJohnny Vegas: Carry on Glamping\u201d where the comedian, his assistant Bev and a gang of vintage bus enthusiasts created the country\u2019s coolest glamping site out of old, repurposed vehicles. This included a bus from Malta alongside a number of other vehicles including camper vans with the glamping site opening on Breaks Fold Farm in the Washburn Valley, North Yorkshire earlier in 2021. However, the decision was taken in October that the venture would come to an end with a new home now sought for the glamping site which had led to the bus (known as Patricia) being moved to the North West Museum of Road Transport in St Helens.<\/p>\n
With Johnny Vegas becoming aware of the trams at Wyre Dock he has paid a visit to see them \u2013 taking along with him his assistant Bev and a film crew giving the intriguing prospect that at least one of the trams may be picked up to be added to the glamping site (and presumably for a second series of the TV show!).<\/p>\n
Obviously there are no guarantees anything will happen with this intriguing prospect but during his visit Johnny Vegas paid particular attention to Brush Car 637<\/strong> which retains its all over advert for Blackpool Zoo.<\/p>\n Other trams located at Wyre Dock include Centenary 641<\/strong>, Twin Car 673+683<\/strong>, Railcoach 678<\/strong> and Balloon 710<\/strong>. Its not currently known what plans are in store for any of these trams but the complete collection remains available to a new home.<\/p>\n For a group of trams which are stored in a private compound with no public access the trams owned by the Fleetwood Heritage Trust \u2013 and currently for sale with the collection being disbanded \u2013 seem to get a lot … Continue reading \n
