Glad you enjoyed it, it's good to see the mix in Blackpool on days like yesterday.

Much appreciated, feel free to check out my UK Light Railway play list where I've filmed the rest of the systems of the UK too.

Thank you very much!

Yes the route from St Chads to Bilston is in the track bed of a former railway. The rest is in street track.

Indeed, if you check out my other videos I've done exactly that and put a video up a couple days ago. I model in N Gauge so use Kato mytram models which are about £45 each from Japan so not even expensive.

Indeed, we have a good selection of tram systems in the UK and only set to grow in coming years.

It was a fire and rescue training session. Making sure the emergency services now how to deal with any incident on the tramway

We seem to get them on a regular basis on either 61 or 68 route

@@StevenHughestransportvideos I rarely see them, I've only seen gold MMCs when I've gone to visit my sister 😅

Welcome, I hope you enjoy seeing our British trams

They do say the tram depot is haunted.

It's a lovely museum. My only criticism is they keep part of the collection locked away at Clay Cross. I personally think they should be rotating stored trams to enable the full collection to be viewed over time. Id love to see Blackpool dreadnought but it's in Clay Cross with little prospect of coming out any time soon.

It's a collection of Blackpool Trams

I guess you don't understand how KZfaq short trends work. I always upload the correct footage in a full video, but these shorts are part of the viral trend. They get a lot of views and point people towards my videos. If you aren't a fan then please feel free to scroll past.

That would be why the description says to watch the related video for the true sounds. If you watch KZfaq shorts you will understand trends. It's become a popular trend to add this sound to tram and train videos from around the world

Hope you had a great time.

Nice video

Thanks. Appreciate the kind comment.

726 should be back in time. It's being restored by the tram at Lowestoft. I don't know how long 634 is at Lowestoft for, but certainly at least a couple years. It's good to see it running

Yes, the horn sound is from a viral trend in KZfaq. The actual footage can be seen as part of the related video

They were very common before WW2 but not so much these days

А понял, а это в Англии ?​@@StevenHughestransportvideos

Yes it is England

@@StevenHughestransportvideos понял

The train used to be named "Concrete Bob" but has recently lost its name and isn't currently named.

Indeed, it's a KZfaq viral trend using. Fake horn. It helps to get the true video out to more people. There is a link to the related video showing the correct horn on screen while you watch.

Thanks 🔥

It was, unfortunately it's advert has expired and is no back in fleet colours

Glad you enjoyed it! The Blackpool trams are what got me interested in transport too. It's always nice to see the older cars out.

I'm glad the video has prompted good memories. Thanks for watching.

It sure is! It's the second Sunday in a row it's been out. I hope we will see more over the summer too

Brilliant, did you manage to sample 718 on a trip? It's not often we see B Fleet in service.

@@StevenHughestransportvideos Actually I was at the Pleasure Beach today. This is my second week in Blackpool. I arrived here on June 22nd. In fact I come here twice a year every year ever since 2002. I know the history of the trams and the Pleasure Beach.

@@dannyohare3645 brilliant, it's certainly a lovely place for a holiday. Hope the weather holds out for the rest of your stay.

@@StevenHughestransportvideos Yeah so do I. I come here every summer and every October (for the illuminations), sometimes I go here three times, that other time is with an autism friendly group called Sail Autism on September every two years, so next time with them is next year.

Thanks 👍

Thanks, glad you enjoyed watching.

Glad you like them! I've got plenty more in my playlists. Don't forget to subscribe to be notified when I upload new videos from Nottingham/Manchester/Blackpool/Edinburgh/Sheffield tramways

I’ve subscribed!

That's great to hear. I'll be visiting Sheffield and Edinburgh trams again in July plus more from Blackpool too

They became DB Cargo, however, 37250 has been repainted by the Wensleydale railway into the heritage ews livery.

Many thanks! Yes they do look very smart. If only the chocolate and cream coach had been the blue grey one instead it would have been an immaculate train. Still smart overall though

Yes they do look good in GBRf colours. Good to see them continuing in use.

It's well worth a visit. As well as the lovely tramway the park is a lovely walk too. Only £2 return in the tram or £5 unlimited tram rides.

You're more than welcome. I hope you enjoyed watching. I'll be back down next week to try and catch the day to day running of the tramway again

The signals were working correctly. They had closed Talbot Road to disperse a protest by taxi drivers which was causing an obstruction. The bus was trying to turn right which it couldn't due to the closure, and was then held as the tram got the signal to go through. The police remained in the area to ensure the protest didn't return and block all the roads again. (Nothing to do with the tram opening, just happened to coincide)

@@StevenHughestransportvideos Ah yes i thought it would be to do with that

@@Thomas-zs1rc initially the taxis had parked down both sides of Talbot Road but where moved to the left side and in doing so they had looped round Cookson At and Abingdon At causing a blocked triangle so nothing could move. The police then decided to close the road and clear the area completely as it was causing aggravation for other motorists and buses etc. was quite impressive watching how professionally the police dealt with the situation though.

@@StevenHughestransportvideos glad the police managed to sort it thought it would have lasted much longer then it tbh

Thank you very much, it was certainly good seeing history in the making.

Yes indeed, hopefully it will be on the specials tomorrow/Friday for some better photos

@@StevenHughestransportvideos it dose seam a mess with all the fencing.

@@blackpooltrams6369 sadly so, a day which Blackpool should be proud of, marred by being in the middle of a building site. Certainly not the look you want when launching a 27m extension with a 30 minute frequency?

@@blackpooltrams6369 it does seem a missed opportunity to really promote Blackpool and the Tramway at its best.

Thanks Jack, yes it's a unique mix we have in Blackpool

Same here, the deregulation liveries got me into public transport. It's a shame the corporate era returned and now we just get 3 or 4 basic livery no matter what part of the country you are. (Obviously still a few independent operators but not as varied as in the 1990s)

Indeed, although it still seems strange to me seeing vehicles so young in preservation. It was great to see more of the 1980s/90s era vehicles out this year too

I did contemplate a ride, but decided a ride on the Elizabeth line was more interesting for me haha.
