    Spotted this on the Lancs Live website today. Sad to see these vehicles rotting in Fleetwood, but you can't save 'em all I guess! Report contains the usual howlers expected from this type of 'journalism'

    Surprised to see a 'balloon' in amongst that lot. I'm guessing there's a good reason it's not made the 'accessibility transition' accomplished with some of it's brethren.

    You're right about the howlers John, in someone's eyes these trams are 'beautiful locomotives' and also fitted with steering wheels!!!
    I know exactly where these trams are and isn't it private property?

    It'll be completely rotten. Most ex Blackpool stuff gets that way after 70-80 years of bracing salt sea air. There are several far better examples already preserved, hopefully these will get chopped up before they divert any more funds away from more viable projects.
