in reply to Deathbyteacup, there is a benefit to those who are in the Cleveleys and Thornton Gate area. Trams are every 10 minutes to Blackpool - which makes it a quicker method than bus - and every 20 minutes to Fleetwood.

Not all the Balloons have been sold. At present there are several working Balloon cars on the promenade.

There are nine confirmed sales. The first four have been sold to Heaton Park in Manchester. Balloons 702 and 704 (neither of which have made a big contribution to service in the last few years), Railcoach 680 - though operates as a stand alone was intended to haul a trailing car and Railcoach 623; still wearing wartime livery.

Another five units 708, 710, 716, 721 and 726. One or two of these could go to Birkenhead.

I 'think' some of the centenary trams are also to leave the resort. There was a rumor 648 was up for grabs and has been sold. This yet, cannot be confirmed either.
