NIGHT TRAIN TO FLEETWOOD:

Leaving depot just before midnight the trams headed to Fleetwood and with an open top bus to provide great vantage points and the entire tramway to ourselves, the opportunity was taken to stop at unusual places and shoot some great film! This was the first time the train had been used during darkness hours following its overhaul.
