But while there were visitors to the tramway to help the celebrations a normal service was also running, although it would be fair to say the tramway wasn\u2019t looking its best at this time with a service only able to operate between Pleasure Beach and Fisherman\u2019s Walk in Fleetwood due to the upgrade works at either end of the line.<\/p>\n<p>The closure of the line south of Pleasure Beach meant that the southbound running line from there was unused for services but was, at times, utilised for the storage of trams between duties. And so it was on 28<sup>th<\/sup> September 2010 when two Centenary Cars were being stabled at the time of this photo.
