The two trams which have been selected to be used on Illumination Tours during the Lightpool Festival have now been moved from inside the old Fitting Shop (now the Tramtown Exhibition) and ahead of their move to Starr Gate (which will presumably take place soon) are temporarily stabled on the depot fan. On a lovely sunny day 717 and the Frigate are captured on camera. They have also enjoyed a clean from Tramtown volunteers.
