Easter Sunday

Flexity 004 at the Cabin, with seagulls soaring in the wind on the updraft from the cliffs

Easter Sunday was another cold, cloudy and windy day, which was perfect weather for the seagulls soaring on the updraft from the cliffs at the Cabin, as seen above with Flexity 004 waiting in the tram station, having just reversed over the crossover on a short working to the Cabin.

Bolton 66 about to pick up passengers at the Cabin

Heritage tram output on the third day of the service was provided by Bolton 66 and 706 "Princess Alice", unfortunately though in a similar turn of events to yesterday, 706 failed in service and had to be towed back to the depot by the Unimog around lunchtime, being replaced on the heritage tour by 147 as on Saturday. Princess Alice is seen below heading south at Lowther Avenue, before it was withdrawn from service due to more problems.
