074 - Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway Flexity and Heritage - 16th July 2022

The Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway is the only UK example of a tramway that has evolved into a modern light railway without ever having shut down since 1885. In 2011, at a spectacular ceremony at Starr Gate depot, Bombardier Flexity 2 tram 001 appeared out of the mist as a version of Karl Jenkins' Palladio was played on strings to begin the transition to light rail vehicles that would commence in full time operation in April 2012. Since that date, the Flexity trams have provided the main service whilst traditional tramcars have provided a separate heritage service along the same route from Starr Gate to Fleetwood, operated from Rigby Road and staffed by volunteers. Some effort has been put in to make the heritage trams look as they did over the years but attention to detail is lacking with incorrect application of paint schemes and incorrect fleet number styles for the period they represent. Nonetheless, it is good to see the heritage trams in operation. This video, if it does nothing else, will help you to sleep as it runs to just over one and a half hours and is part one of an in-depth look at the Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway today. Part 2 will look at the route from Fleetwood to Starr Gate on a stop-by-stop basis and will be filmed over the late summer and early autumn of 2022.
