After Thursday's abortive attempt by Balloon 724 to reach Fleetwood, when it went demic at Norbreck due to door problems, today finally saw a Balloon complete the full run from Starr Gate to Fleetwood Ferry. Balloon 713, which had been on specials earlier in the day, set off late afternoon from Starr Gate with Fleetwood on the blinds. This time the attempt was more successful, and 713 duly arrived at the new stop in Bold Street, Fleetwood, just before 1750.
