| 622 on Luton Road in Cleveleys, close to its final resting place in the playground of a primary school at Anchorsholme |
Brush car 622 departed the rails of Blackpool Tramway on the morning of 14th April. The former Tigerrific all-over advert tram had been in Rigby Road depot at Blackpool since November 2013 for temporary storage, prior to being moved to its new home at Anchorsholme Academy where it is to be used as a classroom. 622 made the short journey to Anchorsholme Primary School in the careful hands of Scotts Heavy Haulage, on a shorter trailer than is normally used due to some tights turns along the route. The final resting place of 622 is right in the middle of the marked out netball court in the school playground. The plan is to finish painting the tram in order to recreate the appearance of the original Tigerrific advert.

I hope this is not too facetious a comment but I can't help thinking that the Messrs Scotts haulage firm is on a pretty good wicket what with all the transfers of trams between museums and other locations. David
ReplyDeleteI think their rates are probably very reasonable which is why they are used for so many preserved tram movements.
