    The line from Gynn Square down Dickson Road to Blackpool North Station was a continuation of the Blackpool and Fleetwood Tramway, the North Station being its terminus. The line closed in 1963. Before joining of the two separate systems, the Blackpool Corporation trams terminated at Gynn Square.

    Though I live in the mountain desert now I grew up near the beach in southern California. Your video made me smell the salty beach air, which is something I really miss. Your countryside is so much greener than ours. Thank you for letting me have that feeling again. I would love to ride that tram someday.

    The Red Bank Road depot, was not demolished to build Sainsbury's. It remained as it was, but converted into a supermarket called Alpic for a few years.. in fact, until 1982.

    Interesting video and great commentary. On the maintenance side of things, is there a council team in charge of looking after the assets or is it contracted out? Curious if the ballasted sections are ever maintained by tampers and rails maintained by on track grinders.

    Why are the trams so slow. I understand why they are slow on the promenade (people walking about) but surely on the straight sections which are fenced if they can go faster than 50 knob. The max speed of the Flexity trams used is 70kmph. Why is this not used? Do you know? Any answers would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I can understand very little of what you're saying.
    When the tram stops at stations, I hear a little more, but even that is not as always clear, e.g. Fifteen or fifty, just as an example.

    Hey Tom, I have a question. Are you able to volunteer for the heritage trams while working for LRT (Not on the same day obviously) or are LRT drivers "Banned" from being able to volunteer for the heritage trams until they resign from being an LRT Driver

      You can volunteer for heritage if you drive LRT. I don't drive the LRT anymore. I do however still drive for the heritage team
