It still had a two track layout to allow trams to be stabled or be passed and on this occasion Coronation 304 was taking a break during a tour \u2013 the day before the Totally Transport event \u2013 and its joined by Illuminated Trawler 737. The Trawler was in fact on the normal timetabled service (as was not that uncommon at this time) and passengers are just boarding it for a trip to Blackpool. It will be followed soon after by the Coronation \u2013 part of the Fylde Transport Trust collection and currently stored at Rigby Road Depot \u2013 which will also be going back south.
