A Flexity 012 pictorial on the 141st Anniversary of Blackpool Tramway

Flexity 012 approaching the Tower tram stop on 28th September

Flexity 012 entered service this weekend resplendent in green and cream vinyls as a nod to the history of the tramway. A gallery of 012's first few days in service has been posted to commemorate the 141st Anniversary of Blackpool Tramway, which opened on 29th September 1885. The photos shown here were taken on the 27th, 28th and 29th September.
