Fylde 77
An evening out with Fylde 77 for the FTS beer and buses event. New to Lytham in November 1970 it ran for 26 years (outlasting it’s two sisters by 13 years!) being retired in October 1996 by which time it was Blackpool Transport 458. Preserved a year later and returned to its original colour scheme. It ran for a few events in 1998 but was soon clear it needed framework attention at the front. This finally happened a few years ago and it returned to use in July 21. This photo is from its second outing on 29 April 2023 - it’s first public visit back to Lytham St.Annes in 25 years.
