The vehicle which dominates the image isn\u2019t the tram but rather the bus which is one of the ADL Enviro400 City buses which received vinyls to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s Platinum Jubilee. Carrying the fleet number 423 this bus will soon depart from Starr Gate with a line 1 service to Fleetwood Affinity Outlet.<\/p>\n<p>In the distance we also see Flexity2 <strong>015<\/strong>. The tram has just pulled forward from the tramstop having terminated with a service from Fleetwood and after preparations \u2013 including the driver walking from one end of the tram to the other \u2013 it will soon pull forward to the tramstop and embark on its next working.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47719\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=47719\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-47719\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47719\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47719\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/015bus-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/015bus-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/015bus-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/015bus-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/015bus.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-47719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photograph by Gareth Prior, 2nd June 2022<\/p><\/div>\n<p>* &#8220;Trams &amp;&#8221; will return later in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTrams &amp;\u201d today is heading to Blackpool once more as we feature an image at the southern terminus of the tramway \u2013 Starr Gate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,86],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47718"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=47718"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47718\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47720,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47718\/revisions\/47720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
