I remember when the home bargains was a bus station ! At that time, all the illuminated trams were still active. I used to love the hissing sound the trolley wheel made on the wire, lost now in the pantograph days, and the bogie rattle. Its a shame there are so few heritage trams left in Blackpool, they were one of the main attractions whereas the modern ones are basically just a bus service.
It's a pity that every tram has been modified in some way and not one is in original condition. Otherwise, it is good to see that so many have been preserved!
Great video - I love the old Trams - I must try and get to Blackpool this summer...

at least they have kept them,or,some of them,could have easily scrapped them all,so lucky to see them in a natural setting
Closest I've come to riding one of those was a San Francisco trolley 🚎. I enjoyed viewing " Life Without limits ".

Dziękuję za Twój komentarz !!
When they bought the boat out, why didn't they change the conducter pole to the back instead of leading it out with a bloke holding the pole?
Not to sure mate
might not be enough room inside the depot.
you waffle alot
If you don’t like it leave doesn’t bother me
Do you know what has happened to the Rocket and Showboat illuminated trams ...both of which are now heritage?
Yes there both kept safe at Tramtown wich you can see when on a tour
The Rocket is inside Tram Town but will never run again due to health and safety. The Showboat was exported to the USA not Shaw when.
