Below: Blackpool 31 has been ill! This is a view of the No.1 end motor, with work taking place to repair an overheated bearing. 31 has been in regular use this summer, and this problem seemed to arise when the tram ‘ate’ the woolen wick that lubricates this particular component.

Below: Phil Anderson is completing the lettering on the SOS bus, which will hopefully play a part in the forthcoming Power from the Past event (1 – 4th September), about which more will be announced later this week.
