The Fylde Tramway Society convention weekend normally includes a few tram tours, but this year Blackpool Transport were unable to accommodate any private hires due to lack of staff, however they had kindly arranged to operate an interesting variety of trams on the Heritage Tram service over the weekend, and a preferential ticket price was available to FTS members who booked their tickets in advance. Saturday saw Boat 600 and Box 40 in use in the morning, with Bolton 66 replacing Box 40 in the afternoon, to provide a bit of variety. 600 was making its debut outing in passenger service this year.
