Forward to 2011 and the new junction goes in at North Pier, 2018 track laying up Talbot Road, the missed 2019 opening then 2022 - the first trams on test and forward to 2024 with more testing and driver training and finally trams in passenger service.
Easter 2024/634 Return: After almost 20-years, Brush car 634 returned to service at the East Anglia Transport Museum on Good Friday, 29th March. The car was launched, working numerous trips along the line and with a Blackpool-themed weekend, it was in the company of VAMBAC 11, Standard 159 and former Blackpool loanee, Sheffield 513. Cars 627 and 726 were on display and 625 was in the new depot. Full coverage from the Friday is shown here with 634s launch and the other trams running alongside, plus various buses and trolleybuses. A private hire in the evening saw 634 work a few more trips and a special bumper-cam provides an alternative view.
