With your help the "Coronation Street" Tram 710 returned to the Heritage Tram Depot today. It's a huge moment in our role to preserve culturally significant Trams & artefacts in Blackpool's rich history. Huge thank you to everyone who donated to make this possible.

Preliminary work continues on the far side of the Depot and it's looking so much better. As soon as it's completed we will be relocating our Tramtown shop to this area allowing us to sell a bigger range of products all supporting the continued regeneration of the Tram Depot.

Not much longer now and she will soon be home. We will then start work on making her a static exhibit at Tramtown...

Great news everyone, we’re currently working on the paperwork to move 710 and it won’t be much longer before the tram is moved to its permanent home at Tramtown. Thank you again to everyone who donated and made this all possible 😀 More news will be shared with you shortly.
