As we reported at the end of last week, two Illuminated feature cars have been readied for display during Blackpool\u2019s Lightpool Festival which is scheduled to take place between 21st<\/sup> and 31st<\/sup> October. In this pictorial article we take a look at the two trams \u2013 Western Train<\/strong> and Frigate<\/strong> \u2013 in position at North Pier and Starr Gate. Oliver Shenton provides the photos and there\u2019s a link to a video included too!<\/p>\n

Work had taken place to prepare the two trams for display \u2013 it had been hoped that the Rocket<\/strong> would also be able to be displayed but more work is needed on that so it isn\u2019t possible at this stage \u2013 so that they could play a role in Lightpool.<\/p>\n

The Western Train<\/strong> was moved to North Pier by the Unimog<\/strong> ahead of the event starting but with severe weather conditions hitting Blackpool it was removed back to Starr Gate on 24th<\/sup> October. After the worst of the weather passed, the Train<\/strong> returned to North Pier on 26th October – this time facing north.<\/p>\n

As for the Frigate<\/strong>, that isn\u2019t going far from its current home at Starr Gate Depot as it is just being displayed on the depot headshunt each evening (1730-2230).<\/p>\n
