Do you think public ownership of the buses is going to increase services?
@@bigyy-v6n it has done in Manchester
@@podbabatransport7515I hope it does over hear 2 hours 30 minutes I was waiting for a bus
Also why are the tram smoother in brum and in wolvo they are so loud and vibrate?
@@bigyy-v6n i had never noticed that. There are quite a few sharper curves in Wolverhampton and the track is, of course, very new! The trams, especially the Urbos 3s, squeal a lot more too!
And why do they slow down under the bridges.
@@bigyy-v6n maybe there is a track related speed restriction?
I just don’t get it. It glides around in brum under the building bridge by library.
@@bigyy-v6n the only bridge I know they slow down under is on Bilston Road in Wolverhampton.
Is there a typo on the screen or is there a urbos 484?
@@bigyy-v6n it is a typo.... should be 48. Thanks for letting me know
Advertising on windows is they craziest idea ever! How can passengers see where they are?😮
Thanks for video! 👏🏻 Great to see the trams being used so much!
Have you seen/heard the kfc rap has been removed
@@bigyy-v6n yes. It is on the title page of the video along with 44... the blossom watch wrap that has been removed too.
@podbabatransport7515 they had an optare solo SR on 75 today
Castle Hill metro line is just used as a carpark for K2 advanced training and dudley central mosque. Lucky you visited on Sunday so it was clear 👍🏻
Nice to see tram 16 at the light railway centre 10:00 and not being scraped.
Another great update video! Appreciated! 👍🏻
Thanks for updating us on the progress 👏🏻👍🏻
Great video, thanks! Do you plan to revisit this area again? I believe they've started to put the tracks across Moor Street Queensway now
@@peterpowis4145 i am in Birmingham right now! Will be filming Grand Central to Edgbaston then Lower Bull Street to Moor Street. What a coincidence!!
@@podbabatransport7515 that's cool! Look forward to seeing the progress! Can't wait to see trams run on the eastside extension, whenever that materializes!
What a BORING video No action of doors opening / closing, sounds, or people embarking. No interior or station to station views. Better watching a roller coaster from the ground. Sorry, thumbs 👎🏽 on this vid‼
@@centralplains7608 sorry you didn't enjoy it but a video of Wednesbury Psrkwsy is not likely to go from station to station. The clue is in the title!!

Are you doing any videos today

Mike it me shiv. I just wanted to let you know my iPhone 15 pro was stolen yesterday at Wednesbury parkway by one boy lad he used small knife on me and he accidentally cut me on the arm. Lots of blood came out on the Metro. Came to give me first-aid and assist me at Wednesbury. Great Western Street. If you could send me your number until I get my new Sim for the phone then I’ll be able to add you back on WhatsApp on her again. Apologies that this happened yesterday with my iPhone 15 pro got took
When are you returning to the west midlands
@@MasontheTransportEthusiast 20th August
Typical taxi driver once again thinking that they own the roads
Trams packed again with passengers, great to see!👍👍
Great vlog love the different transport buses
Every aspect from timetabling & required resources to the incomplete terminus itself gives the impression that they were somewhat caught off guard that the extension was finally going to open after protracted delays. The business case actually discounted “All Via North Station” and I have to say I question the logic in it been used as anything other than a short-term sticky plaster. To justify retention of the Tramway it needs to move towards realising the frequency outlined in the upgrade business case & subsequent extension business case. It needs to start quickly achieving them figures and that can only be achieved by actually having capacity on track (not simply sat in the shed)
@@lincolnblackcat but the point I was and am making was that, apart from a few glitches on destination displays and timetable displays, the service worked much better with everything via the station. Agreed, the justification for two additional trams (017 & 018) was made on the grounds of a much more frequent service but the customer numbers at the time were pre- covid19. As more and more people use the Tramway, I am sure the service frequency will increase. Simply running a much greater frequency in the hope that numbers will come back is, absolutely definitely, folly!
You must also remember that a business case is always based on value judgments (best guesses) before reality. Blackpool Transport in the post Covid world must make its business case on real figures and feedback. They are doing an excellent job through a very professional senior management team.
I love the Blackpool tram! All the best from the tram city of Bremen/Germany!
Cracking video as always Michael, the revised service pattern certainly seemed well received from passengers and made the extension come alive too with trams every few minutes up and down Talbot Road. As you say, this being the full time service pattern cant come soon enough.
Most of the trams looked rammed with passengers- I think this extension is a roaring success, fare income wise!
@@heinzer69-f3u the extension has got to be a huge success. Today's operation with everything via North Station is an out and out successful operation. It would have been even better had tram crews known what to show on destinations and had the service been properly publicised. The sooner the day to day service changes to this pattern, the better!
@@podbabatransport7515Makes a lot more sense.No waiting for the " correct" tram.
I was last in Rochdale for the first time just before the lockdowns were fully implemented in 2020, having lived in Manchester since 2002 and it is a lovely town and the people are lovely - I’m very much looking forward to returning to the town again very soon and to find out how the people of Rochdale are coping with the post-Covid era, as it has gone totally nuts in my native Ireland
Great video Podbaba. What were the passenger numbers like at the station stop :) In your first clip they looked pretty good.
@@paulgalleyblackpool customer numbers were high to and from the station. It is an overwhelming success in my view.
oh that is fantastic, so pleased. Onward now with the next extensions is my plan for the Fylde. We can sell those idea on the back of this success :)
@@paulgalleyblackpool there is a definite need to move away from some of hair brained ideas that you hear from misguided enthusiasts such as attempting to run trams along the old Fleetwood railway branch. Blackpool Transport's 14 with a minor diversion that has been done before covers the whole of the branch line. (During works on Carleton Crossing, the 14 diverted via Poulton and revenue went through the roof). The South Fylde branch line works as railway line. The area crying out for a tramway extension is along Talbot Road serving the new courts and Layton then via Grange Road to both hospitals, the zoo and Stanley Park. This would also mean that heritage trams could operate wholly within Stanley Park leading to massive regeneration of this most important green leisure facility.
I drove an optare spectra once at wilts and dorset, always like the look of them, really nice to drive.
Thanks for video! Great progress! Can't wait to see track go down along the old train corridor!
Love the great footage from a bygone era 💞💗🚂⛱️🗼
Three hour video it's too long to watch, sorry
@@michaelsandford1015 a lot of people have enjoyrd it.
You can, of course, like most other viewers, watch sections of it at a time. It portrays everything going on on the Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway in 1990.
Very interesting video love the Hanson's bridge, thank you.

Good video. Thanks for sharing xxx
How come that there is no tram stop on Talbot Road for trams going to Starr Gate or Fleetwood, but there is a tram stop for trams going to North Station?
Because there is a North Pier stop that both can use
008 is back out again today thankfully
Yes it was out first thing this morning.
Much better than the BYDs.

Just pictures
Don't understand your comment
They having to control the traffic lights manually at the north pier end of talbot road ?
No. It is done from the tram can but if a can or plastic bottle get wedged in the track, it breaks the circuit and sets the signal to danger. Even a sheet of paper in the wrong place does it!!
@@podbabatransport7515 knowing the windy conditions in Blackpool that will probably happen at some point, what were the people doing the high vis jackets at the box ?
Excellent coverage over the last few days. Well done.
How many passengers travelled today???
Of course I mean on the extension!
In the time I was there, between start of service and 10:30, well over 100 travelled up or down the branch. The Promenade was, obviously, much busier.
Great vlog cheers for sharing trams
I had thought that aboout the "no entry" signs. Is the subway to the station open yet?
Yes. The subway is open and the steps up the side of the hotel to the Talbot Road bus stops too.
The balloon trams seems to be faster than the modern fleet🧐😁🤣
Great to see the heritage trams. Go up Talbot 🛣️
When you cought 700 on the way to north station, was it the one that set off from starr gate at four o'clock? If so, i will have been on it.
