Green & Cream Saturday

Balloon 715 at the Tower sporting new side adverts for Tram Sunday in Fleetwood

The heritage trams on Saturday 23rd May were running to the green timetable, which uses four trams nominally operating every 20 minutes between the Pleasure Beach and Little Bispham. The theme for the day was "Green & Cream", with trams 147, 600, 648 and 715 running the service during the morning, Balloon 715 has also received full length between deck adverts for Tram Sunday in Fleetwood. Shortly after 1330 two tram substitutions were made, 147 returned to the depot with compressor problems and was replaced by Boat 230, 600 also returned to Rigby Road depot, being swapped for 706 Princess Alice. Later in the afternoon Balloon 715 also began to have compressor problems and was replaced in service by Brush Car 631. The 1610 departure from the Pleasure Beach offered a run through to Fleetwood Ferry, this being operated by 706.
