This programme begins with the two major news stories from 2007: the scrapping of Twin car motor 677 and the departure of the Illuminated Hovertram.

At Pleasure Beach, 40 came from Starr Gate and entered the outer loop on the spur track. At Little Bispham, car 66 - previously banned from this loop - made a very rare move over the spur and headed off north.
