The Rocket loses its shine

The Rocket is beginning to fade away on Gynn Square roundabout, with many of its lights no longer working now

While the Rocket has been illuminated again in the weeks running up to Christmas, it is now beginning to look a bit ragged around the edges with many of its lights no longer working. The tram looked pristine when it was first lit up for the illuminations, but the months it has spent on Gynn Square roundabout exposed to the elements have taken their toll on the lights, with the tram slowly fading away.
