675 & 685 looked superb over the weekend and the whole event was a credit to all involved. My best memory will be being sat in the observation area of 734 (the Carriage of the Western Tram) yesterday in a daytime run from Pleasure Beach - Little Bispham and back. Also I don't think any journeys were lightly loaded, so the event was definitely a success all round.

Surprising move changing to the Winter timetable on the last day of the season. Wonder if the B Fleet Balloons will be used on specials.
Picture in Time: Blackpool Illumination Tours

Quite ironic that I remember going to Blackpool for the 70th Anniversary of the Streamlined fleet and I caught 648 on that Illuminations tour on the Friday night. 11 years ago - how time flies and the tramway and its operations in some way isn't recognisable from those days.
