An event to launch Blackpool 'Brush' car 630 in to service was held at the Museum on Saturday 12th May 2012. The Museum arranged to have all operational tramcars that had been built by Brush Ltd in passenger carrying service and displayed other non operational Brush built tramcars in the depot yard.
