The Fleetwood Heritage Leisure Trust (FHLT) is disposing of its trams but is experiencing problems finding a home for Balloon Car 710 which has been stored at Wyre Dock for several years.

The Trust has a deadline in 2022 to remove its trams from Wyre Dock. Without a firm commitment to remove the tram from Fleetwood, the Trust will need to arrange for it to be dismantled for scrap or spare parts.

There are various examples of this tram at Rigby Road Depot in Blackpool, so there is no need to add a further example to the existing lines of trams stored there. However, there may well be options for it to be moved elsewhere in the country which may not necessarily be of a transport heritage profile.
