This was at the time the only significant section of traditional street tramway remaining in the UK. Tram 297 is heading to the far end of the tramway at Starr Gate. It is one of the 20 Brush railcars built in 1937 as part of the extensive modernisation of the fleet, and is seen in original condition. It survived in preservation and returned to Blackpool in 2016 for potential further operation as part of the heritage fleet.
