The first of the former Merseytravel owned Blackpool trams that have recently been secured for preservation arrived safely back on the Fylde Coast today. Brush Car 625 was delivered to the fish dock at Fleetwood on the back of a low loader belonging to Calkeld Heavy Haulage, arriving at the fishing port at 1830 on the evening of Monday 8th June. The tram will be stored in the same open compound on the docks that is currently used by the Fleetwood Heritage Leisure Trust.
