We really our spoiling you at the momentas this week we bring you a further two Photo Galleries plus a Book Review along with Fleet Lists updates, an update to the Diary of Events along with all the latest News.

The first Photo Gallery we bring you contains images from the first day of the recent Bank Holiday weekend in Blackpool which also happened to be the first day of the Fylde Tramway Society's Annual Convention. Contained in this gallery are photos of both the Flexities and the Heritage service which saw four trams in use on Saturday 5th May including a year passenger debut for Boat 600. Photos in this collection are provided by Tony Waddington.

Our second Photo Gallery comes from the East Anglia Transport Museum and their event commemmorating 50 years since the end of trolleybus operation and 60 years since the end of trams in London. Although only one tram - 1858 - was in service this gallery features images of various London vehicles around the site including some rare trolleybuses along with some of the other trams at Carlton Colville. Huge thanks to Niall Dorsett for the photos in that gallery.

The Book Review is on a new title from Amberley Publishing - Tracks and Trackless: Chesterfield's Trams and Trolleybuses by Barry Marsen. Thanks to the publishers for sending us a copy of this book for us to review - it becomes our very first book review!

Away from all those goodies it has been a fairly quiet week on the news front (with the big story of the week probably actually taking place as I write this at Crich (the launch of Blackpool 630) - more on that will hopefully feature next week). Our top story is the release of artists impressions of what the new Citadis trams will look like for Nottingham Express Transit when they are introduced in 2014, construction will start this summer in Barcelona for the 22 new vehicles. Other news this week has concentrated on more woe for Metrolink passengers with further delays and the release of full details for the Manx Heritage Transport Festival between 25th and 29th July. All those stories - and more - can be found on our News Blog.
