Replica Vanguard 619 tram along Blackpool promenade, Lancashire, England, UK


In the late 1990's, 619 was fitted with wraught iron railings giving the tram a more authentic look than the perspex sides did. Following the reduction in the fleet, 619 was withdrawn in 2004 and stored. Right out of the blue, 619 was reinstated to the fleet in 2008 and saw use during the illuminations on tours and specials. 619 remained in service in 2009 before being withdrawn again. In 2010, 619 went on loan to Heaton Park tramway in exchange for Manchester 765 for the 125th anniversary celebrations. 765 went back home and 619 remained at Heaton Park, where it is still a popular member of their fleet.
