Back to Blackpool once more for another edition of \u201cPicture in Time\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is another image taken in July 1979 and was taken shortly before the image of Jubilee 761 we feature a couple of weeks ago. Brush car 633<\/strong> is sandwiched between two OMO cars as the trio heads south along the Central Promenade. The leading car, 8<\/strong>, which will terminate at Pleasure Beach on route 3, displays the drooping end which characterised the type and looks slightly work-stained. Woolworths\u2019 clocktower is surrounded by scaffolding in the days when the company was maintaining its property portfolio well, little thinking that the entire chain would close down in 2009.<\/p>\n OMO 8<\/strong> survives today and is part of the Fylde Transport Trust collection with it remaining stored at Rigby Road Depot having last run (briefly in 2010). Brush 633<\/strong> is another tram which is at Rigby Road but it looks very different today as it was converted in 2001 into the Illuminated Trawler (now renumbered 737<\/strong>), it is still owned by Blackpool Transport and was last seen in operation in 2023.<\/p>\n
