FTS Convention Weekend Day Three

The third day of the FTS convention weekend saw light passenger loadings on the Heritage Tour, as most of the FTS members had gone on a bus trip to the Heaton Park Tramway in Manchester. Both 717 and 147 were noted carrying only five passengers each on the first workings of the day at Little Bispham.
