Brush Car 634 East Anglian Transport Museum

Making it's preservation debut, Brush Car 634 makes quite a sight wearing "Terror Tram" livery, posing in the sun at the East Anglian Transport Museum at Carlton Colville on the first day of the Blackpool Tram Weekend. The vehicle wore a very similar livery while in service in Blackpool, and was repainted at Rigby Road Depot in Blackpool before transfer to Suffolk. The destination panel, showing "Thank you Andy Bekki Jess" acknowledges the previous owners of the tram who have donated it to the Fylde Transport Trust, who have lent it to the EATM on a five year loan.

918 NRT AEC Regent Carlton Colville

Lowestoft Corporation No 8, an AEC Regent V from 1963, pauses by St Peter's Church in Carlton Colville after failing while working the 1130 service from the East Anglian Transport Museum to pick up customers at Lowestoft station. Leyland Titan LYF 104 was dispatched to take passengers on the final few yards of their journey to the museum.

After withdrawal from service, 918 NRT was used as Basil Badger's Playbus, initially for Waveney District Council, and then for Basildon Council. Luckily it was purchased from the council by two enthusiasts, and subsequently transferred to the Lowestoft-based museum, with a return to service in 2022.

VAMBAC 11 Carlton Colville

The twelve VAMBAC trams were built in 1939 by English Electric for the inland Marton route in Blackpool. Only one vehicle was preserved, with number 11 being used on the final day of service for the route in October 1962. It was initially moved to Portsmouth in connection with a plan to reopen a tram route to Hayling Island, but this didn't come to fruition, and 11 moved to the East Anglian Transport Museum at Carlton Colville, near Lowestoft. The pride of the fleet catches the winter sun on New Year's Day, being one of two trams providing rides on the short demonstration line.
