Report - Blackpool’s Lost Tram Graveyard, Lancashire, April 2021

Nostalgic. My dad used to drive these before the german fleet came along. I do miss seeing these old birds going up and down the prom

Cool report. Liked this. Ive never been on a tram. Definitely a different report, good photos too.

Nicely captured .. some great pics of our old trams there .. maybe have ridden on some of them over the years .. did you get to the Fleetwood trawler wrecks while you were up there? Thanks

Google maps shows only 5 trams remaining in the spot I think youre talking about. Is that up to date? Or have they all gone now and no point going up there?

the site at Wyre Dock is required by developers later this year so the trams will have to move – http://www.britishtramsonline.co.uk/news/?p=43828
