'Princess Alice' 706 Appeal
Donation protected
The Fylde Tramway Society is fundraising to enable the restoration of Blackpool's iconic open-top Balloon tramcar 706 'Princess Alice'. Our aim is to return 706 to it's 1985 condition in time for the Society's 50th Anniversary in 2021, with tasteful adverts on the sides of the car. 706 has not operated since 2015 and requires a replacement underframe which is expected to cost approximately £10,000. The tram will also require major body work repairs, re-panelling and a full repaint; early estimates indicate that this work will cost around £50,000-possibly more. Please help us restore this unique vehicle!
Anyone who donates £100 or more to the 'Princess Alice' 706 FTS Restoration Appeal will receive some perks, as a thank-you for their generosity in supporting the project. Please make yourself known to the Fylde Tramway Society if you donate £100 or more. Also, provide a screen shot or some other form of proof of your generous donation!
