Blackpool Jubilee car

Blackpool Jubilee car
Blackpool, United Kingdom (GB)
n the late 1970s, Blackpool Corporation decided that the tramway fleet needed modernising after the closure of the inland routes during the 1960s. Attention was drawn to two Balloon Cars, 714 and 725, which had been mothballed as they were in dire need of an overhaul. It was felt that these would be useful on the promenade during the summer due to their high seating capacity and reliability. So, with funds left over from their One-Man Operated (OMO) programme[clarification needed] the corporation set about rebuilding these old Balloons into "Jubilee Cars".
