Lineup of Trams.
On Blundell Street, ajacent to the Tram workshop at Rigby Road, three out-of-service Trams are lined up. Nearest we have Jubilee Car 761, this was converted from a Balloon Car back in 1979. Like the single-deck Centenary Cars, these too were One-Person-Operated and could be used all year round. It's sister 762 was converted in 1982, and is now preserved at Crich, Derbyshire.
Next is illuminated "Trawler" 737 which was converted from Brush Railcoach 633 in 2001. In the far distance is Brush Railcoach 632, with a roofbox advert for the Tram Shop on North Pier. One day, 632 will join it's Brush sister 631 as part of the operational Heritage Fleet!
