Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours 133rd Anniversary

[@alanwindypics]

Cracking video as always and a great event, really glad you were able to get on the depot tours this year. That open top Balloon 706 was the same one we rode around Heaton Park on during their 'Blackpool Day' back in 2010, good to see it once more, I hope the FTS are able to raise enough money to get it running again.

Thanks Alan. Yes I managed to get a Depot Tour this year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think your right about Heaton Parks Blackpool Day you have a good memory. I cant remember yesterday, That's why I video them :-)

I miss that clanging sound...last time I went on a tram in Blackpool, was the late 80s.

[@mollsmyre]

It certainly is a memorable sound.

Why did those trams have to be push/pulled out the depot by road cars?

[@mollsmyre]

The Trams being moved out of the Depot are in various stages of restoration and are non operational. Normally hidden away it gave enthusiasts a chance to see them.
