Box 40 Farewell Tour

Box 40 at London Street on its first visit of the day to Fleetwood

Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramroad Box Car 40 performed a farewell tour on Saturday 2nd March. The all day tour incorporated many unusual moves and as much of the system as possible to celebrate the 23 years that the tram has spent in Blackpool. Box 40 will shortly be departing for a period of use at Beamish before returning to its permanent home at the National Tramway Museum at Crich later in the summer.
