Advantages: The fact that Blackpool is renouned for them & there different looks

Disadvantages: Not the most comfortable in the world

A trip to the fabulous seaside resort of Blackpool isn't complete with a ride on the famous trams of Blackpool.

Blackpool Trams are operated by Blackpool Transport Services Ltd which also runs the Blackpool Bus network around the Flyde coast.

They are easy to spot with historic designs and shapes, they have stunning livery which make them easy to spot too, with some having rather wierd & unusual designs. But the network is due to be renewed to a light rail system... like trams in Sheffield & Manchester sometime in a few years I was told by Blackpool Transport Services Ltd the other month.

The timetable is easy to use with trams running regulary during the day, everyday between Pleasure Beach & Fleetwood with trams starting at about 0745 until 0015. Trams stop at quite a few stops so may take time but it's a nice ride, not the most comfortable but thats part of the systems charm, but it goes right along the seafront and it's a great ride on the night with all the lights lit up. It stops at ALL the attractions and a lot of the seafront hotels too so easy to access from where your staying or where you want to get to.

Tickets are reasonably priced with singles, returns, day tickets & travelcards for buses & trams all available. If your on a family day out why not get a family ticket, it'll save you money.

Overall its part of the Blackpool experience, a trip isn't complete without going on the last remaining tramway of its kind in Britain with it's unique trams and pleasant views, even if it's just a small quick ride it's worth it.

Summary: A great trip & must do for anyone in Blackpool
