BLACKPOOL TRAM NO.40

 

Taken at Crich Tramway Museum quite a few years ago I like to think there is nothing in this shot to tell us it is probably the early 1990's.

 

No.40 was built in 1926 for Blackpool Corporation, whose system is still running, this is an open balcony car, so called because both ends of the top deck are without windows. This was the last open balcony car to run in public service in the UK.

This is an outstanding result from the scanner, Brian.
How nice it would be riding on the top!
what a great tram this is... love it
What a beautiful machine.
You did a great scan job Brian!
Can we have it back please? I'd love to see these running on the prom' again, there's a bit of discussion locally, about all the vintage trams going away, an opportunity missed I feel, for some kind of working museum
A very nice shot Brian.
