Volunteer Conductor Training

Balloon 706 at the Pleasure Beach with the 2015 volunteer heritage conductor training school

Sunday March 22nd saw open-top Balloon 706 Princess Alice in use on heritage crew training. 
A school of volunteer conductors were being trained in the art of a guard's duties when conducting onboard a heritage tram, such as turning the trolley pole, changing points using a point iron, etc. The school consisted of a very respectable number of eleven volunteers, all eager to take up their new heritage guard duties when the 2015 Heritage Tour season begins in a only weeks time.
