700 on Heritage Tours

Balloon 700 passing wind blown sand on the tram track at Central Pier on 31st March

For the second day of the week, just one tram was running on the Blue timetable Heritage Tram Tours, the tram selected for use on Tuesday was modernised fat door Balloon 700. It is hoped to be back to a normal two tram service from Wednesday onwards until the Easter weekend. A weather warning was in place for gales all day on Tuesday 31st March on the Fylde Coast, which is rather apparent by the marram grass sculptures bending over in the wind in the photos.
