I wish that they would use some of the other modified balloons; 707, 709, 713, 718, 720, 724. I know these are technically 'B fleet' trams but so are 700, 711 and 719. It would just add a bit of variety to the line up. It's good to see 701 being used though
ReplyDeleteThe general public want to see and ride something that looks like a traditional Blackpool tram, and when there are only two heritage trams in service (green timetable days), modernised purple trams with electric folding doors probably wouldn't have same attraction.
DeleteWhy have they had 700, 711 and 719 out loads then? Also 642 is hardly traditional it was out almost everyday before the flexitys arrived. Except for when it was in the repair shop. I just want to see more balloons from BTS. When I was younger in the 90's and early 2000's most of the trams in service were balloons. It's just my opinion anyway 😛
