| Coronation 663 on its low loader in Lytham Road after arriving from Heywood |
Blackpool Coronation 663 has returned from Riley & Son Locomotive Engineers in Heywood, near Bury, where it's been since 22nd August 2018. The work done at Riley's was a complete rebuild of the Maley & Taunton HS44 bogies, using many new components. Following completion of the bogie work, 663 was transported back to Blackpool on a low loader of Reid Freight Services of Stoke-on-Trent, using the same truck that moved the tram to Heywood in 2018. Coronation 663 was loaded onto the transporter at Heywood on the morning of Monday 24th August, on arrival at Blackpool around 1:30 pm the tram was unloaded and moved into the depot, with the aid of Engineering Car 754.
