Sunday 7th and Monday 8th November 2010
And so we are here again. One year ago since we lost Fleetwood as a location for traditonal trams, the tramway at Blackpool was closed again for Winter engineering.
It was a nice way to see the tram year off with plenty of reserve/rare cars making appearences as well the regulars.
I had one last ride on Twin set 675+685, which like 672+682 had become regular companions during my days bashing the trams! One last ride on the Western Train through the lights, 717 to Fleetwood one last time this year and I also cleared 100 miles off both 711 and 717 by the end in the early hours of Monday 8th!
The last run with 711 to North Pier was delayed at Norbreck when one of the passengers on board was taken ill. Once the ambulance had been and gone we were on our way again. I arrived into North Pier at approx 01:15!!
Here were the moves from Sunday 7th and into Monday 8th.
NOTE: '331' is a bus and the rest are trams. I also didn't record the taxi home on Monday morning but then again I never do! lol
