Blackpool Balloon Tram (HM Coastguard) in Blue and Yellow (1:76 scale by Corgi OM43513)
This diecast model Blackpool Balloon Tram (HM Coastguard) is Blue and Yellow and features working wheels.
The Blackpool Corporation tramway opened on September 29, 1885, becoming the first electric street tramway seen in Britain. In 1898, The Blackpool and Fleetwood Electric Tramroad Company built a separate line and started running a tramroad service from Fleetwood to Blackpool North Railway Station before its take-over in 1920 by Blackpool Corporation. Since bus deregulation in 1986, the trams and buses have been operated by Blackpool Transport Services Ltd., a subsidiary of Blackpool Council. The tramway infrastructure is now owned by Blackpool Council, while the trams themselves are owned and operated by Blackpool Transport. By 2010, the Tramway will have been operating for 125 years!
