Centenary 648

            648 was built in 1985 by East Lancashire Coach Builders of Blackburn. It was one of 8 Centenary class cars, though this was originally an experiemental tram owned by GEC Traction and fitted with their trial ‘switched reluctance’ equipment. It was tested in service by Blackpool Transport from 16 July 1985 to 10 February 1988 – albeit with several periods in store. It was numbered 651.
On completion of the trails, the body was purchased by Blackpool Transport and mounted on a new trucks with traditional motors and modern ‘thyristor’ controllers as used on sisters 641-647. It was renumbered 648 and entered service on 4 January 1990.
