Blackpool Tramway: May Bank Holiday Heritage Madness (2013)Over the May Bank Holiday weekend, Saturday the 4th, Sunday the 5th, and Monday the 6th of May 2013, Blackpool Tramway hosted its second heritage operation weekend from Pleasure Beach to North Pier, Cabin, Bispham, Cleveleys, and Fleetwood. This time, a few members of the 'B' fleet—heritage trams fitted with wide doors to allow access on the upgraded tramway system—were out, along with some regular vehicles. Similar to the Easter period, the heritage event was a big success again, with many enthusiasts and other passengers eager to buy tickets and ride. The final heritage weekend, at least until the Illuminations season, will be on Saturday, the 25th, Sunday, the 26th, and Monday, the 27th of May 2013. On my visit Monday, the 6th of May, I saw the following vehicles: 1) Balloon 701, returning to passenger service after winter 2013 when it was used as a snowplow. 2) Brush 631, making its debut in a partially restored heritage condition. 3) Millennium 724, operating a few morning routes. 4) Millennium 709, running some afternoon routes. 5) Wide Door Balloon 719, out during the late afternoon. 6) Boat 600, briefly out between Pleasure Beach and North Pier in the late afternoon. 7) Boat 230 George Formby OBE, working with 631 on the last scheduled Fleetwood trip of the day. Vehicles are usually seen along the route from Pleasure Beach to Fleetwood Ferry, including occasional Flexity operations.
