Unusual to see a boat car out in the dark. I had a friend who worked for Blackpool CT and ended up conducting on a boat one lights evening - they stayed out until after 11pm. He said both he and his driver were absolutely frozen added to which most of the people at stops decided to wait for the next one.
Black Pool what were you thinking? bring these old trams back please!!! the new ones are boring the older ones were much better to look at they were a great attraction to the city bad move with the new ones.
Brilliant,Not a Health a Safety Pleb to be seen.Not a High vis Jacket in sight.Great Vid,Anybody got a Time Machine.How can anybody find fault in a Super specatcle like this?
When I took this video in 1996 I have had a camcorder with the standard format of that time. I started with 'HD' (or 720p) many years later. So I fear there is no chance to improve the picture quality, what I regret.
I wish the Illuminations were as this good again...
The illuminations are rubbish now compared to the ones back then.
These trams had character......Thanks for posting!
Thanks! Great, steady video, editing, sound. Really brings out the ambience of Blackpool at night. Just go to go there one day!

When I took the video footage at night in September 1996, the weather was very mild. Well, sometimes you have to be lucky...😉.
First time I have seen this. WELL DONE Helmut as had forgotten that you took this.... and three views of me driving 66!!
A great upload of all those trams.
The Good Old Days !

wow, never saw Blackpool tramway like this but, i really wished i had, look amazing with trams coming every few seconds, and all totally different
I was there that year of 1996
Great video.
thanks for the upload and the memories but I'd rather see the light show then the trams
If you would rather see the light show why click on a tram video lol
"Blackpool Trams At Night In 1996" you clicked on a video about the trams

I did see a high vis.
that is what the trams should be like, no idea what is coming next instead of what is happing where they all look the same
5 stars well done
@srpott40 Well, that's true, but it is perhaps only a question of time till they will look all different again...
Ever transferred your videos onto 720p format?

You could transfer it to the 5:3 ratio?
