The collection of trams belonging to Fleetwood Heritage Leisure Trust are on the move again. The trams are having to vacate the hauliers yard that they are currently stored in, and are moving a short distance away to even more secure (but still open) accommodation. Scotts Heavy Haulage began the moves on the morning of 2nd July, with Railcoach 678 making the short trip to outside storage within the Associated British Ports complex close to the Fish Dock, Balloon 726 followed later, making the same journey in the afternoon.
