723 is 'scruffy' no more

Balloon 723 was relaunched into Heritage Tour service today after being repainted in 1980s livery once again. 723 left Hopton Road at 1615, and then ran through to Fleetwood for its inaugural run in the new paint scheme. More trips were made up and down the tramway, before the tour was scheduled to conclude back at the depot at 2125.
