Dist:0.3km<br/>'Balloon' car No 721 approaches Bispham from the south. This car still exists as part of the front-line fleet, but (of course) it now has all-over advertising livery.

Dist:0.3km<br/>'Balloon' car No 713 just approaching Bispham from the south. This car still exists. It was 'modernised' some years ago, and thankfully retains its original shape, but regretfully its traditional tramway 'turnover' seats were all replaced by fixed seats.
