970 - Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway: Trams in the pre Light Rail era 1960s and 1970s

Описание: Welcome to Podbaba Transport Video 970.

This presentation looks at the Blackpool Tramway in the late 1950s through, mainly, to the 1970s via the lens of the late Harold Morton's camera.
Later photographs are taken by his son, Michael Morton and this archive includes the standards in services as well as many of the Coronation cars.
We also look at Marton, Lytham Road and Dickson Road services.
We also see the OMO cars rebuilt from English Electric Railcoaches as well as twin car motor sets rebuilt from similar units.
The illuminated features cars figure in the presentation alongside the two illuminated Standard cars - 158 and 159.
Many of the photographs are in monochrome as colour photography was quite expensive at the time.
