Set 4 was one of the five Twin Cars which enjoyed a renaissance when double deckers were banned from running to Fleetwood because of the state of the track. It received the Cadbury blue and yellow Metro Coastlines livery and still includes the traditional destination blinds. Its also running trailer first.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_61125\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2.011-gp.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61125\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-61125\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2.011-gp-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2.011-gp-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2.011-gp-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2.011-gp.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-61125\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trams continue to run on the same alignment today and here we see Flexity2 011 also approaching Fisherman\u2019s Walk as it laves Lord Street \u2013 and street running. Fleetwood doesn\u2019t look particularly busy in this 2nd June 2022 view as the tram is at the start of its journey south, with this being pre-North Station it will go all the way directly to Starr Gate.
