Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Historic Trams at Heaton Park. Two historic tramcars on the Heaton Park Tramway. Blackpool Vanguard tram 619 passes ex-Hull Corporation car number 96. 96 was built in 1901 by Hurst Nelson, originally as an open top double deck car. It was cut down to a single decker in 1933 and was used as a stores car and snow plough. The Manchester Transport Museum Society later bought the car, restoring it as a single deck passenger car at the Mode Wheel workshops in Salford and it has run at Heaton Park since 1988. Being totally enclosed, it is particularly welcome on wet and windy days! 619 ran in Blackpool until 1987; it was originally built in 1935 as railcoach 282, becoming 619 when the Blackpool fleet was renumbered in 1968. Following its withdrawal from service, it was transferred to the Mode Wheel workshops where it was stripped and rebuilt as a replica Blackpool and Fleetwood vanguard tram.
