Tram in North Albert Street, Fleetwood
'Balloon' car No 722 has had a small 'V' added on the front panel by an over-enthusiastic member of the painting crew. This was removed fairly soon, on orders 'from above'.

North Albert Street, Fleetwood
On the right is Fleetwood Market. It's a Tuesday, so there are plenty of passengers for car 721 as it loads at the tram stop. The destination reads 'Talbot Square', so this must be an extra working.
Senior citizens cannot ride free on Blackpool trams (as opposed to buses) unless
they are Lancashire residents.

Tram in Fleetwood
Open-top car No 706 recedes from the camera as it travels southwards through the streets of Fleetwood. This car soon had its pantograph removed (and replaced by a trolley pole) as it was found that passengers at the rear end of the top deck were subject to particles falling due to the passage of the pantograph under the wire.

'Balloon' car on North Albert Street
Just appeoaching Albert Square on a southbound journey is Car No 712, built in 1935 as an open-topper. This car is still in service and retains green and cream livery. Even more surprisingly is the fact that, at least on one side above the centre door, its old number (249) is still on show in silver, screw-on, digits.
