BIGGER AND BETTER IN 2016!

Although we still have our fabulous Santa Special Saturdays during December before the curtain falls on what has been an absolutely amazing season for the heritage tram operation in Blackpool, it’s time to preview what we have in store for the 2016 season and the title says it all!

Gone is the ‘GREEN’ four tram timetable. Staying is the established and well patronised ‘BLUE’ core two tram service. Increasing is the number of ‘GOLD’ six or more tram service days! Extended midweek operation to reflect differing county and UK school holidays. Say hello to ‘WINTER GOLD’ weekends in January, February and November to plug the gap in the traditionally quiet time for transport events. Back by popular demand is the TRAMWAY ANNIVERSARY SPECTACULAR event in September. There will also be one or two of our now-famous launches as the season progresses seeing the Heritage Tram Tours fleet go from strength to strength!

Full information will be available ahead of each event and we sincerely hope that you approve of and will be able to come and support the ‘bigger & better’ Heritage Tram Tours in 2016. Thank you all so much for being part of our history this year, none of this would be possible without your support!

Increasing the operation means that we need to increase the team.

An advert will appear very shortly giving full details so if you have free time and would like to be part of living history, please give some thought to volunteering with us.

So Blackpool Heritage Trams go from strength to strength.
