'They'll be back' almost the famous words of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator. This week Blackpool Transport promised Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours in Summer 2026 after a few private runs in May. Plus a grand plan for a future home to display heritage trams. Could the circle at Little Bispham be suggested as a track for the nearby tram museum, nothing too flash. 'Let's do this'. Below are the crowds that lined the Blackpool prom in 2022 for the tram procession.😃👍🚃🏁

A sunny day in Blackpool. The Coral Island tram arrives at Bispham around 10.30. It was a busy tram made better by the jolly conductor who kept a good flow of comments with the passengers who were joining in, it was like being at a show. He stood at the door and said goodbye to every passenger, and that was a lot of goodbyes. 😃👏👍

Tuesday 17th March. Another day of total sunshine. This time in Fleetwood as tram 001 Blackpool Zoo leaves Fisherman's Walk and passes the Frances Mary Lofthouse Memorial Clock or Ash Street Clock on Lord Street. After walking along the beach to Rossall Look Out with the tide well in and a nice swell we went in JOB's TOYS across from the clock and bought a model Hughes Crab for not much more than a pony, 00 unboxed.

Two totally sunshiny days on Blackpool Prom brings the folk out. The latest tram advert passing Central Pier, centralbeachleisure.com, a sort of misty blue advertising a hotel soon to open. Day 2, Wednesday 4th wandering backstage to a sad looking Rigby Road, tram 700 hiding from view, snapping Coral Island, ooh ar me hearties, and its dazzling tram spotted on the curve at North Pier. 🤩👍🌞⛱️🎡🚃☠️😃

Her Excellence Princess Alice, Blackpool Tram 706 on one of her last trips in 2015. There seemed a sense of denial about what work was needed to the tram and then there was an appeal for funds and quite a bit collected. There's an underframe nicely welded by the home team in the maintenance depot but it looks like it'll remain a static exhibit with the tram. As we wait for the roof to collapse and the trams moved to a space rented in Fleetwood with a marquee initially. Perhaps next to Affinity as part of Fleetwood rejuvenation along with a trawler or two and some Fisherman's Friends and even the long awaited heritage train line at Fleetwood Affinity station. A land of dreams but dreams bring hope and hope can be fuel to continue. As a final twist Fleetwood might become part of a council controlled from Blackpool, or perhaps Preston or Lancaster.

When the boat comes in. Tramtown, the talk of the town. What's happening there in 2026! It's said Blackpool Council is proposing closing the workshop housing Tramtown to use it as an electric bus charging area. Then to put the heritage trams into the large hangar like building needing a lot of roof work. This was the longer term plan from some time ago. Since then Tramtown has done a lot of work creating a much better environment in the compact workshop area quite suited to being a museum. Also since then the hangar like tram shed has continued to deteriorate such that it's fenced off. Is it really true that these trams can't operate safely on a new system. That the boat trams aren't on the prom on a sunny summer like 2025 is astounding. What then for Princess Alice 706 queen of the tracks. Getting your kicks on Bolton 66. With your little stick of Blackpool Rock on George Formby tram 230. What about them?

13th November 2025 and Blackpool trams 009, 004, 001 make a formation near North Pier. A pleasantly mild day for November with sun and a light breeze. The excitement of Christmas by Sea is growing as it takes shape putting up the ice rink and slide and the rides and stalls, plus the illuminations are on and will remain on until 4th January 2026. It's going to be wonderful.

Tram spying down under. Brisbane Metro a tram like articulated battery powered bus.
Sydney, Alstom Ground Power System used by trams when in the Central area, overhead wire out of the centre. Apparently it switches on when a tram passes over it. Would you stand on it?

Great video. Two guys who champion Blackpool Heritage Trams, Bryan Lindop of Blackpool Transport, and Paul Galley, Councillor. Bryan urgently wants £150k to get 10 trams running for the illuminations. Our opinion is for much less out of the Blackpool Tourism Budget you could have one or two boats on the prom every summer Sat and Sunday 10am to 4pm, doing a hop on and off shuttle from Pleasure Beach loop to Cabin, the prime tourist area. The Heritage Trams are part of Blackpool's core offer. Just another opinion. What do you think?
