Ian Poole's Transport Travels
United Kingdom
Приєднався 13 січ 2014
Welcome along one and all to Ian Poole's Transport Travels, a place where we upload vlogs related to transport, travelling all over the country and even, when someone feels bold, outside of the country as well. We provide high quality vlogs concerning trains, buses and maybe even a plane or two as we try to show that the places that we go to are good enough for other people to go to.
We are as well a friendly space for the LBGTQIA+ community and I will go to bat for that community, maybe we even see stuff that has ties to the LBGTQIA+ community

Exploring The Blackpool Tramway - Lighting The Way To Bispham
#vlog #blog #blackpool
So this is going to be the first of a series that we do on the channel and it is going to be on the 11 mile stretch of tram network in Blackpool that goes from Starr Gate up to Fleetwood Ferryport and we are going to not just ride the trams but walk some of it as well!
And this stretch, we are really are going to be exposed to the elements as the wind continues to play havoc but we get to take a look at some of the illuminations that lay along the side whilst we continue our walk towards the end goal

Wow! That wind was quite bad, and the amount of hotels along the seafront there, honestly lol. Those displays on the way up to Bispham are amazing. :)
brilliant vlog
Excellent video Ian, the wind can be brutal along Blackpool sea front Wishing you all the best for 2025
The Pleasure Beach turning circle is not just used by heritage trams. It is used for short workings or specials on the Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway so, in peak season, you see a number of Bombardier Flexity 2s using the loop before setting off north to Bispham, Little Bispham or Thornton Gate.
It's honestly a real shame the heritage trams have ran into issues, I hope they're back out again soon. Imagine going to a tram stop just to visit a huge ball lol, I've heard of road trips down to see some rocks in the middle of Wiltshire and even done that myself lol.
You can still see the old tram tracks on the road where I live. Thank you for uploading this video 😊😊
My pleasure 😊
brilliant vlog & it would be awesome if the plans go ahead to extend the trams down to Lytham then it would possibly be more quicker than on the bus from Blackpool & possibly bring more revenue to Lytham & St Annes
That's a great idea!
It's been a few years since I last rode the Blackpool Trams (130th anniversary event in 2015, when several of the heritage trams were running), so I hope the current issues with the heritage trams can be resolved soon One word of caution that some of the fish and chip shops are probably best avoided according to the Google reviews
Yeah, was not going to go near them stick to me Maccies and KFC hahaha
Great vlog mate and happy Christmas
Same to you
brilliant vlog
Thank you 😊
Just found some info on the ALX400, it was originally registered LG52 XZB, owned by VIP Bus Tours and yes, its also a Trident 🔥
Yeah, someone else was saying that on FB
At 22:05, the bloke in black with the orange bag was me, I drove that unit in and back out 👌
Hope it was a good trip and very uneventful
I do like the Blackpool trams, I've still never done the Blackpool illuminations though, I'd love to do them sometime.
You should do sir
All the best for 2025 Ian.😊😊
And you to sir
Great vlog Ian. Definitely interesting to see GWR diverting into Euston station.
Yes it was!
i do plan to do watford junction soon in january as it seems like a great station. i honestly hate stations without stand clear announcements, had the same issue at water orton a few weeks back, but lovely to see the blue pullman at MKC! great showcase, ian!
I do as well, it's a pet peeve, it's a safety requirement
shame about the disruption, but still an enjoyable vlog, ian! these stations seem nice to visit ngl!
Glad you enjoyed
14:20 thank you for calling a Pulsar 2 superior sir... Yes tico, we have a pride Pulsar 2 in Telford too
The right Pulsar from the right year and it sounds mega
Brilliant festive chaos, Ian and Tico, a Merry Christmas to you both, and all the best for 2025 Bah Humbug to 172217 and 172345 and all those Streetdecks 😂😂😂
Happy holidays!
I think the weather in Blackpool is permanently stormy That Enviro should have pushed the Prius out the way lol 😂😂😂
Well it is a Prius hahaha
merry christmas and cracking vlog ian! loved the rants and edits in this one
Glad you enjoyed it
HAHA I loved this!! What is it with 172's giving people misery? 😂 172217 and 172345 are duly noted! It's a good thing 172's are my least favourite of the Turbostars! Happy Christmas!
How can anyone hate the 172s?
@TransportVloggerIan Just like your favourite Streetlites and Steetdecks hahaha! 🤣
nothing wrong with west bromwich albion Tico
Well, he is a Villa supporter haha
@TransportVloggerIan it could have been worse Ian could be a blue nose
Lol, thanks for ruining christmas for many people with 172 217 and 345 Ian. I think the goose's guided tour of Ashchurch for Tewksbury station was a brilliant one lol.
My pleasure hahaha
Great vlog Ian. The WMR 172s may ruined christmas for Tico I definitely feel bad for him even though you saw not one but two Tico's stalker units (217 & 345) that was unexpected. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Christmas sir.
Happy holidays!
im loving all the stations & i i last did Temple Meads in 2023 & its a great station & id love to do all the other statioms one day maby in the future brilliant vlog
Wonderful!
Not sorry for my best edits of 2024. also Damn you for spotting 819!
Indeed, your very best work sir
Dammit Daleks you had one job!!! JUST ONE JOB!!! some great displays in blackpool
And in typical Dalek fashion, they sucked!
That waterpark as a kid was heaven! Mothers company is a different story... This is why I was mostly tram and trainspotting in Blackpool
Me as well
See I tried doing the entire network in June.... However the storm was pretty bad and northern were striking on weekends to make things worse... So only did the South and the Extension. Need to do the Fleetwood part P.S. I've stayed at that hotel. Craig-Y-Don. Fockin shit. We got Maccies as There was a limited menu for me and the band played till the early hours and you can here it from the top floor...
What can I say, I am a mad man
DID THEY HAVE TEA/COFFEE MAKING FAILITIES IN THE ROOM. BEST THING TO DO IN A SHIT HOTEL IS JUST BEFORE YOU LEAVE THERE IS HAVE A PISS IN THE KETTLE. NOW EVERY TIME YOU USE A HOTEL IT WILL BE ON YOUR MIND , HAS SOME ONE PISSED IN THE KETTLE.
So the man does this during a storm.. Good lad! And good on that Streetlite!! A Magnificent Swan amongst a sea of SHIT ALD BUSES!! p.s. Northern.... Give us our WMR 323s Back!!!
No sir, it is not a swan, it is the sack of shit amongst the graceful ADL buses
the citaros were moved to the 3 route for a while, but ive seen them get used on the 5's, the 7 and the 14 of late, they said theres a new livery for the electric buses, i hope it looks decent, also the 18 doesnt go to Poulton, its a circular from town to airport to town via station rd and whitegate drive
I think that the new buses should get some sort of a new livery, maybe a throwback to the old black and yellow, think that would look pretty cool I think the the fact that I remember the 18 going in that direction in some form but it has been a while since I did BPL
@TransportVloggerIan I dont think the 18 has never gone to Poulton, the 17 did in 2016
@@topmandog1 Could be what's happened there, got the 17 and 18 mixed up
You're not alone when it comes to bad weather in Blackpool, I seem to get bad weather most times I go there too lol. Also if the goose was to ride that bus route with those minbuses that are in actual fact, just vans, that would really make my day lol.
I think it would be hilarious
i did Blackpool for buses back in September & its great for bus spotting & i do like the E400city & MMcs as the paladium livery suits them & stagecoach seem to send anything to Blackpool from Lancaster same with stagecoach as at Preston ive seen Lakes livery buses in Preston & some MMCs aswell brilliant vlog
They certainly do sir
A fantastic video Ian, I hope blackpool gets new trams soon. Thank you 😊😊😊
Maybe they will, who knows?
The next GWR diversions between Christmas and New Year are using platforms 15 and 16 (according to RTT), so unfortunately there is no guarantee that we will get the chance to see the Night Riviera and Caledonian Sleeper on adjacent platforms
But you never know what Euston is thinking a lot of the time
Why was there a Chiltern railways class 165 running on Sunday
Because it was not filmed on a Sunday
Thanks for replying
Why did you say it’s Sunday
i did Birmingham city centre for buses back in feb & 1 of the locations i picked was at Moor St & its def one of those spots that you could spend hours watching the buses & Birmingham is def almost MMC heaven & Diamond ruin the scene with their crappy streetdecks i means i rekon diamond love streetdecks & streetlites mind you they seem to love crappy buses like First anyway brilliant vlog
Absolutely there sir
When I first heard this video was going to have flashing lights, I thought it would be you discovering some on the trip but in actual fact the goose put them there lol. The editing done by the goose had me in stiches as well, I just hope he remembers to get the much older buses baptised everytime you see them. Also at 9:04 and 10:41, what is it with people who think skateboarding and roller skating on the road is okay? It's dangerous and they could very well get hurt or worse! I say make skaters on the road pay roadtax if they want to skate on the road, rant over.
HE DID NOT SEND ME THE CLIP OF THE OLD BUSES!!
Hahaha, if I did discover some, it would have been a first
Thank you for everything you've done in 2024. All the best and merry Christmas and happy new year. 😊😊
Thank you sir
Bluestar don’t run the x7 they only cover some runs
Great vlog Ian. I do like Cardiff stations. I mean I do like the new trains but I will miss the old sprinters.
Same here
I honestly had no idea Brunel wanted the Great Western to go into Euston, but hey they've finally gone there. The bit about Sheldon was hilarious lol.
Some of my best work I feel
Great vlog Ian, I think the WMR Class 730s are good for extra standing room and I think you’re right I don’t think tables are necessary but the sockets and USBs are.
Totally agree
Lovely wm buses
Glad you like them!
