Its just after 1940 in the evening and 012 on the right \u2013 advertising Pleasure Beach \u2013 is getting ready to depart with a service to Fleetwood Ferry and the scrolling destination display tells us that this particular working will go via North Station. Meanwhile, 014 just heads back to depot having terminated and now changed its display to Sorry Not In Service. The terminating tram is in its Wednesday advert, which has since been removed.
