It was the Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours 133rd Anniversary on 22nd and 23rd September 2018 and I was delighted to be there all day Saturday and part of Sunday. Saturday started with a tour of Rigby road and Starr Gate Depots. Its incredible the difference between the two depots.
As night fell everyone waited to get their first look at the Illuminated trams entering service and I don't think they were disappointed. The Frigate and Western Train look spectacular running along the Promenade under the Illuminations.
A variety of Preserved buses also operated a free bus service both days from Rigby Road tram Depot to Starr Gate. Once again my thanks to everyone involved for another fantastic weekend of Tram action.
Oh I nearly forgot Happy Anniversary.
