As 725 was rebuilt out of all recognition, she was renumbered to 761 and fitted with a pantograph.   761 made its debut on test unpainted, then once a few bugs were ironed out, she was painted Green and Cream and made her passenger carrying debut during 1979.   The tram was said to look similar to the Atlantean buses that saw use at the time.   761 soon settled in to service and found use all year round both on service and specials.

Balloon 714 was selected to be the second balloon to be rebuilt.   714 was built almost identically to 761 except that the central doors were retained as exits for better passenger flow.   714 re-entered service in 1982 as 762.   Both Trams became know as Jubilee cars as the rebuild of 725 was taking place during 1977, Her Majesty the Queen’s 25th Anniversary on the throne.

Both trams saw regular use on both service and specials throughout the year and received mid life refurbishments between 2000 and 2002.   The major change made to both trams was the reupholstering of the seating moquette and the destination blind displays were enlarged as the originals were small.   762’s sides were extended upwards to stop the pantograph grease running down the side of the tram.

The Jubilee trams were mainly used on the Fleetwood service or on the school special during the winter and mainly on specials during the summer. In 2008, 762 was named Stuart Pillar after the designer of the Jubilee cars.   In twilight years of the original fleet, 761 and 762 saw more use on service during the summer as more of the old trams were either sold off or withdrawn.   Both Jubilee cars were unsuitable for conversion to have door pods fitted due to their high step entrances and exits.   Both 761 and 762 were withdrawn in November 2011, when the traditional tramway closed.

762 was transported to Crich in November 2011 where it joined the fleet of the National Tramway Museum.   762 retained it’s Nickelodeon advert that it wore in it’s final year in service and entered service at Crich in 2014.    761 was bought by the Friends of Fleetwood group and stored in a bus yard in Fleetwood and then at Fleetwood docks.   761 was moved to undercover storage in Rigby Road depot in 2014 and ownership was handed from Friends of Fleetwood to Blackpool Heritage Trams Trust in 2017, a move which should see 761 join the heritage fleet in the future.
