I had a ride on 167 today - fantastic vehicle and you can definitely see the similarity with Western Train carriage 734 (which was former sister Pantograph Car 174). Anyway 167 is at Blackpool until the end of August when the car will move back to Crich for the 50th Anniversary of Crich in mid September.

The irony is that the Heritage Trams will be running down to Starr Gate during their next event, Totally Transport on 22nd June.
I know operationally at Starr Gate, it was a headache with all the shunting - the depot was/is definitely not suited for heritage vehicles.
