Blackpool's new Bombardier Flexity Tram (2011)Launch of Blackpool's new Bombardier Flexity 2 tram at Starr Gate depot, 8th September 2011. The tram appeared through the dry ice to the sound of Adiemus by Karl Jenkins and then proceeded to do 2 round trips carrying the invited guests to the Pleasure Beach. Note: the soundtrack has been edited to minimise the obtrusive wind noise, the sounds of the tram are as it happened however. If you have ever been to Blackpool you will know how windy it can get!By Bob Hodges Transport DVDs - September 8, 2011.

Blackpool Tramway Action (2012)Scenes recorded during a visit to Blackpool and Fleetwood on Sunday 15th July 2012, of various bits and pieces of action on the tramway. Several of the new 'Flexity' trams are mostly seen, but 'heritage' cars Brush 631 and Box 40 also make appearances whilst in operation during the weekend 'heritage' service (Brush 631 being a substitute for a failed 'boat' 230). Locations are North Pier, Little Bispham, Pleasure Beach and all other places in between. We also head to Fleetwood for the 2012 Tram Sunday event (which very luckily was blessed with fairly decent weather, in a contrast to the scenes recorded 12 months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig_guwWNlbA Blackpool Tramway Action (17th July 2011)), where to the strains of 'Rule Britannia', we get a look at the recently repainted 'Wide-door' Balloon 700 and 'heritage Balloon' 717 on display at Fleetwood Ferry.By David Hennessey - July 15, 2012.

Lytham to Blackpool Trams and Views (1903)This film is part of a series of six from the Mitchell and Kenyon collection from 1903 originally uploaded to Youtube by Gordon Birt. The first reel was taken on Lytham Green opposite the Clifton Hotel on West Beach. The remaining reels follow parts of the Tram journey as it was from Market Square in Lytham to the junction of Station Road and Lytham Road in South Shore Blackpool. The order of the reels in this film has been changed from Gordon's original compilation to reflect the actual route. Please take a few moments at full screen and enjoy this fascinating set of clips from over a 115 years ago. You might consider changing the speed of the clip to 1.25 in the settings following a suggestion that this more replicates the correct running speed of the film. The first reel begins with the camera opposite the Clifton Hotel in Lytham before sweeping across Lytham Green with views of Lytham Windmill and the former Lytham Pier. The actual Tram journey commences in Market Square with passengers alighting the tram and the camera also picks out views of the County Pub and 'Old Tom' the tree which used to sit in the middle of Hastings Place. The camera now films the route as the tram slowly begins moving off along Church Road with the camera positioned on the upper deck. Views then follow of Lowther Gardens and St Cuthberts Church before the tram proceeds down Cambridge Road. With Blackpool Road bridge in the background you can also see a steam loco passing underneath. Various parts of an unbuilt Clifton Drive and St Annes Square are captured before heading along Clifton Drive north and then turning down Squires Gate Lane. The railway can be seen as it crosses Squires Gate Bridge together with trams stored by the railways sidings. Finally travelling down Lytham Road the tram crosses Lytham Road bridge with a rare sight of the original South Shore station and platforms which can be seen underneath on the right before this journey finally comes to an end at Station Road. Please leave your comments below as always they are very welcome.By Peter Gillatt - 1903.

Blackpool Tramway: May Bank Holiday Heritage Madness (2013)Over the May Bank Holiday weekend, Saturday the 4th, Sunday the 5th, and Monday the 6th of May 2013, Blackpool Tramway hosted its second heritage operation weekend from Pleasure Beach to North Pier, Cabin, Bispham, Cleveleys, and Fleetwood. This time, a few members of the 'B' fleet—heritage trams fitted with wide doors to allow access on the upgraded tramway system—were out, along with some regular vehicles. Similar to the Easter period, the heritage event was a big success again, with many enthusiasts and other passengers eager to buy tickets and ride. The final heritage weekend, at least until the Illuminations season, will be on Saturday, the 25th, Sunday, the 26th, and Monday, the 27th of May 2013. On my visit Monday, the 6th of May, I saw the following vehicles: 1) Balloon 701, returning to passenger service after winter 2013 when it was used as a snowplow. 2) Brush 631, making its debut in a partially restored heritage condition. 3) Millennium 724, operating a few morning routes. 4) Millennium 709, running some afternoon routes. 5) Wide Door Balloon 719, out during the late afternoon. 6) Boat 600, briefly out between Pleasure Beach and North Pier in the late afternoon. 7) Boat 230 George Formby OBE, working with 631 on the last scheduled Fleetwood trip of the day. Vehicles are usually seen along the route from Pleasure Beach to Fleetwood Ferry, including occasional Flexity operations. Thanks to Rob Bray (also known as 37057viking; https://www.youtube.com/user/37057viking YouTube user 37057viking) for the usual company and banter, and also to Mr. Brian Lindop of Blackpool Transport and others for organizing another successful Bank Holiday heritage weekend.By David Hennessey - May 6, 2013.
