Hi Stephen 👋 it's Thursday evening 7:55pm just watched your video it's bin raining 🌧 here in Nottingham since Wednesday always enjoy watching your videos and blackpool is so awesome with the lights on at night 🌙 from Michelle
The things you do Stephen for your channel out in the pouring rain😅 so glad you finally got the book I sourced for you. The underground looks nice and clean so fingers 🤞 no graffiti. Thank you Stephen another great video from you.
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always I the tower looks awsome looks quite quiet in Blackpool horrible weather have a great evening xx
Hi Stephen nice rainy night walk about around Blackpool it’s my favourite weather. Looking forward to being there next week thank you Stephen another enjoyable video ❤
Evening Stephen, thanks for the walk, think its always quiet this time of year especially when raining. Think when the Christmas attractions start up it will be busy, it has got bigger every year, fantastic on the prom last Christmas. Must agree with some posts, the illuminations especially around the tower area are a let down, not a patch on what they used to be. Thanks again mate, cheers.
Hope you stayed safe out Nice new tram stop hopefully doing trams after 7 when light finished like the old lights bulbs nice reflecting from lights too💡 😊
Thanks for another great video Stephen i am slowly watching your videos in your catalog. You do a great Job as i said in another post i use to love coming to Blackpool when i was a kid and a lot of times it was Raining and the lights look better then ever. Thanks again for the great video and keep up the good work. Michelle Gray Calgary Alberta Canada .
Hi Stephen excellent video in wet blackpool the weather changed in blackpool another week it was lovely weather and the underpass is looking clean and tidy what horrible night in blackpool and the night time videos are excellent and blackpool needs to get the carpark sorted outside the holiday inn thanks Stephen excellent video take care pal from Keith 👍
Pity the town council have stopped the trams up to North station at 7pm, all the millions spent on it! Me and my wife relied on this as we both have disabilities. Never mind the weather Blackpool is my favourite place since working there in the 90's on exhibitions. Shout out to Mandy Davies! You must be sick and tired of me on your live posts LOL. We will be up again from South Wales in a month. Keep up the good work Stephen
Thanks Stephen. Depressing weather but does look nice seeing the reflections caused by the wet. Same here this evening, absolutely torrential rain and the roads are well water logged, a good 4 inches deep on many of the roads. Apparently also some thunder and lightning due here in the early hours ... sure sign the summer is over.
After watching so many of your videos, Stephen, I feel like I know my way around Blackpool. When the video opened, I knew exactly where you were, and when you stepped out of The Strand, I knew you were entering Talbot Square. Thank you for introducing me to your wonderful city. I hope I can visit one day.
Hi Stephen. hope you didn't get too wet. that's one thing about when its raining you get the good reflexions but its not very good when you are driving a car. there won't be many people walking about in the horrible weather in the middle of the week. thank you for your walk around. take care and ill see you in the next one. xxx
It is sad to see it so quiet during the main Illuminations season, No Blackpool for me this year either though. I am having a few mini breaks around Scotland next month instead.
Hi Steve, been to Blackpool for last 4 days,shame the weather was pants, but on the bright side got to try a £1burger from the Daddy. Great videos enjoy them all.
Thanks for the video Stephen, never seen Blackpool so quiet mind you it is mid week to be fair. The garden in Queens Street is a good idea pity the council doesn't do a few more. By the way received your calendar today, it's fabulous. Don't forget to buy your calendars folks.😊😊😊
Hi Stephen, another good video. It really was quiet in Blackpool! I dont like these illuminations, they are not as good as when i used to come in the 70's, i guess thats 'progress ' for you. Keep dry Stephen and see you next time. Xxxx
The Trams not going upto North Station after 7.00 PM is ONLY during the illuminations, a conductor told me that. Thanks for a good vid Stephen, dont get to wet, we dont want you down with a cold.
Hi Stephen not much going on, which is not surprising considering the weather! The lummies look very poor this year, shame, but it's like most things nowadays, nobody cares... Thanks for vlogging in the rain, good commentary as always, until the next one
We were thinking about visiting Blackpool on Sunday or Monday but seeing the illuminations on your superb videos I think we will go elsewhere, they are horrendous, nothing like the 80's and 90's, if these are the times of being better Blackpool can forget it and they expect a donation to see that rubbish what a cheek.
Wet drab and miserable in Blackpool Stephen. I can only think the trams don’t run on Talbot Rd after 7pm due to near misses with all the beer monsters on Friday and Saturday nights?
The illuminations are WOEFUL. Dull, uninspiring and hardly worth the effort. I was born in Blackpool it's saddens me greatly that the lights are just a pale shadow of bygone years. Gutted.
@Guv-g9e, perhaps have a look at how many he's got agreeing with him and the paltry like you've got . The lights now are boring and are not a patch on what they used to be. They're the same every year and those monstrosities that Lewellyn Bowen put up are a joke ,nobody knows what they are .
@@Cockermadmanyou are looking at through rose tinted glasses. Comparing them through the eyes of kid and then as an adult will always get different viewpoints.
Great question about the trams. Don't think it's a waste of money. The decision to stop the trams after 7pm to the train station is to help ease the illuminations traffic flow.
EveningStephen ,,Just back from Blackpool ,After spending 4 days , what a waste of money and time taken for the Talbot Road tram extension, we sat for 15 at the railway station for 15 minutes ,nobody could give why they stop so long...and nobody got on the tram there.........
How long has it been and it is still not finished and as for trams not going to North Station its because of illumination traffic ,rubbish if cars and buses are running through why not trams?
Hi Stephen, I thought you'd like to know there's two coach loads from Donegal staying at Tiffany's hotel this weekend over for the illuminations. I want able to go this time.
@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool I know, I heard you say so on one of the live videos, so I thought you might like to know, in case you bump into any of them and would like to get chatting. Boyces coaches here in Donegal take a group to Blackpool twice a year, summertime for a week, then again end September for the illuminations. There's all ages over as far as I know.
People are coming into Blackpool at all times by train and in this weather I'm sure they'll be unhappy if the trams stop at certain time from the station to the south pier etc. Just letting you know I got my calendars today and the pictures are great, still would've liked a Starman one though but thems the breaks.
Was in Blackpool 2 weeks ago. Less than pleased with the time-wasting tram diversion to North St, along with the removal of the buses on the front between Pleasure Beach and Manchester Square. BTW were you there when all the trams stopped after a vintage tram broke down (on 19th Sept)?
It didn't start raining here until 2am, but the rain has been so heavy I didn't take the dog for her walk ( the garden it is then 😅 ) just put the bin out hoping it doesn't blow away 😮
Cullina seem to be the big transport company now. Shame they bought out Great Bear because they got rid of the star constellation they used to have on their wagons.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool ... Yes the Culina Group have grown rapidly since they started back in 1994, since merging with Bayliss transport back in 2008 they they have gone on and taken over Stobarts, Fowler Welch, Great Bear and Robsons of Spalding, the Culina Group it self is now 100% owned by the Germans (The Müller Group). A lot of people were sad when Stobarts livery disappeared.
@@jasongray4517 Foreign holidays became so much easier and killed off a lot of British holiday destinations, especially seaside towns. Maybe, when we're banned from flying abroad, places like Blackpool will flourish, again...🤔
I understand the trams stop running at 7PM to north station due to it causing too many problems with the traffic flow at north pier while the illuminations are on. I can understand it getting busy on Friday/Saturday nights. All this should have been thought about before spending so much cash on apart time system. Trams don`t stop running in other city where there is a lot more traffic not at one junction at 7 PM. Shame on Blackpool Council.
Yeah, think about those coming into Blackpool on the train for the night & not being able to get a tram back if they arrive after 7pm. There’s no way they’d allow that in a city like Manchester.
Why on earth have the developers of a construction of a brand new multi million pound development not considered the drainage of rain water in Lancashire . It utterly beggars believe. Complete amateurs i feel. They dont care been paid bogged off to 😮 else where. 🤨 On a more positive note the area still looks clean and inviting.😊
I don't like these new illuminations. The ones from the 80's and 90s' were much better in my opinion.
You must be very fit ,all the walking around Blackpool you do. Thank you for the walkabout. Keep up the good work. 👍
Hi Stephen 👋 it's Thursday evening 7:55pm just watched your video it's bin raining 🌧 here in Nottingham since Wednesday always enjoy watching your videos and blackpool is so awesome with the lights on at night 🌙 from Michelle

I believe the trams are note servicing North Station during the illuminations only because of the volume of traffic on the prom.

Blackpool is fast becoming a weekend resort. It never used to be so quiet even on a Wednesday.

The illuminations are WOEFUL. Dull, uninspiring and hardly worth the effort. I was born in Blackpool it's saddens me greatly that the lights are just a pale shadow of bygone years. Gutted.
Yes, the queues used to go back miles. Down Red Bank Road and all the way past Crossley's Bridge.
@Guv-g9e Amazing? You are very easily pleased. The lights are pathetic
The Smiths sang. There is a light that never goes out. They've obviously not been to Blackpool illuminations.

From Humpshire.
No closed down years ago
Lovely video. Will be visiting an astronomer friend in November. When I travel to Blackpool. Hope there not too many Beer Monsters,

Don't think it's a waste of money. The decision to stop the trams after 7pm to the train station is to help ease the illuminations traffic flow.
I'd say at least they got to go up Talbot road eventually but shame they stopped after maybe after winter they will start going longer

It was bloody awful the next day too, Thursday, but Friday was glorious with sun, windy though. Stayed at Best Western Carlton on North Shore :)

Certainly some beer monsters around Stephen

Yes, it used to be busy most of the year...just a bit of a lull, from January to March/April, but still ticked over.
