Blackpool & Fleetwood Tramway: North Station Countdown on Monday 10th June 2024 - two days to go

On Monday 10th June 2024, with two days to go before the first official passenger carrying tram from North Pier to Blackpool North Railway Station tram plaza, we visited North Pier and the town centre to film trams on test, the continued road marking improvements (though the main yellow box junction in Talbot Square has not been touched and will cause tram chaos if not addressed before the service begins.
T1 service trams were: 001 006 007 008 009 011 013 014 015
T4 special was: 010
Talbot Road testing were: 002 017
In addition, 012AD was out on engineering test.
Note the transpora bus setting down passengers at a Loading Bay and showing its destination as Tower - even though it goes nowhere near the Tower. This is not an isolated incident. In fact two of the three buses we saw on the service showed "Tower" on the destination and all three used the Loading Bay as an inofficial bus stop.

As 733-734 western train was the last operating tram to run up that way back in the 60s for the opening of the former abc cinema by sir cliff richard.
