Blackpool

Chronology

06.12.2024	The Heritage Tram Tours will be suspended indefinitely and this with immediate effect. It became increasingly challenging to run old trams together with the modern ones, with additional technical and safety requirements that were ever higher. It isn't known if and when and in what circumstances any historic trams may be able to run again.
16.06.2024	For the first time in 88 years, a new tram line is being opened along Talbot road to Blackpool North railway station.
