Blackpool Totally Transport 2013

Blackpool Totally Transport Show. South Promenade, Blackpool. Sunday 23rd June 2013. Weather was windy with showers.

A good turn out of both vehicles and public. Classic buses, coaches, cars and very large turn out of Mini's.

This year a Heritage Tram Service was operating between North Pier and the Pleasure Beach which added interest.. The Solaris had loads of stands and entertainers and some great model trams.

I get letters saying why these things that are not in Preston. They aren't so far away and there are Leyland built buses and Preston built trams.
