    The East Anglia Transport Museum held a special event. On the opening day the tram service was in the hands of Blackpool Corporation tram No. 159 and this tram played a part of the celebrations on Sunday 29 May 2022 along with London Transport HR/2 tram No. 1858 and Sheffield 'Roberts' car No. 513. All the cars operated as a three car service with cars passing at the loop at Hedley Grove. Also drawn from the depot for display was Lowestoft open top car No. 14 and parked next to it was an ex-War Department Thornycroft lorry that was brought by Lowestoft Corporation after World War 1 for use as a tramway recovery vehicle. Blackpool Corporation 159 had only just returned to service having had its motors overhauled.
