The North Euston was built in the early days of the railways. Passengers between London and Scotland would change at Fleetwood for a boat up to Scotland and the North Euston was a stop off point.

@markstramtrainbuscapades1729 54 минуты назад

Yeah, Fleetwood's builder Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood figuared that Shap would be unassalible by train, so people would use his Preston & Wyre Railway to reach Fleetwood, spend a night at the North Euston, then board a boat for Ardrossen and then a tain to Glasgow. Trouble was, only a few years later, Stephenson conquered Shap and the West Clast Main Line was born!

The Daleks and Dr Who are part of the illuminated tableaux which are between Cabin and Bispham. Certainly worth taking an Illuminations Tour to have a look at them as they are probably the more part of the Illuminations. The tours start at Pleasure Beach and they use either Heritage Trams or Illuminated Trams.

@GLovesTrains 2 часа назад

Amazing thanks for letting me know 👍

@blackpoolsteve6217 3 часа назад

The reason the trams aren't serving north station after 7pm is simply due to the fact that with the illuminations currently on it was felt that it would be very difficult to get the trams across the road onto the new extension plus the trams do get very busy during the illuminations.

@birdsbodger Час назад

The way your eyes lit up when you saw those Tardises ( or is it Tardi 😂) was a joy to behold! I was near Southport last year and we could the Blackpool Tower miles away. Another one on my Bucket List I've not seen! Have a great week!

@randomroveruk6715 2 часа назад

I just managed to miss the Illuminations this year, because I was there a few days too early. I did, however, see most of the displays set up ready, and tried to video them from the tram in the rain. By the way, I find your channel interesting and your enthusiasm shines through. Thank you!

I have to say that the new Blackpool North tram stop looks very nice and brand new. Perhaps Blackpool North railway station should also be redeveloped to make it lot nicer. But overall it’s nice to see trams that terminates just outside the railway station where Wilko’s used to be.

I last went on Blackpool trams in 1992. They were all traditional trams then. I know that it’s a working transport system rather than a heritage line but it’s not the same with these modern trams. I loved the ride to Fleetwood especially going past the Fisherman’s Friend factory (I love to suck a Fisherman’s Friend 😂) when you can taste rather than smell the produce.

@markstramtrainbuscapades1729 51 минуту назад

The Doctor Who lights have been around since 2007, when David Tennent switched on the lights. They were originally more extensive, initially on Central Promenade, featuring The Tenth Doctor & Martha with various villains. 2008 saw Martha replaced by Donna but they were reduced when Tennent ceased to be The Doctor, with just the TARDIS and Daleks retained!

@barriewillans1250 8 минут назад

Another great vlog. I’m sure there used to be a ferry service from Fleetwood ferry to the IOM, one of the ships was called Bison and there also used to be a hovercraft giving pleasure flights from around about there.

Been riding Blackpool trams since I was 5, back in 1972! Very different tramway back then, and of course, it was then the only tramway on the UK mainland! You'll have to go on a Heritage tram next!

@iana6713 58 минут назад

There's nowhere quite like Blackpool, is there?! Glad to see the iconic tramway going from strength to strength with the new extension - I can vaguely remember being taken there on holiday as a child, years before the trams were upgraded with the modern ones. Been back a couple of times since, and I will get down there again. Chuckled when the tram pulled in at the stop at Norbreck - I have stayed in that massive monstrosity of a hotel...!

i really enjoyed watching this i visited Blackpool last wednesday as i do everytime i go up North & its nice to see the trams no go to North station & the first thing i did was check out the extention as i arrived on the train but its a shame the trams dont go up to the station after 7pm anyway i visited Fleetwood while i was on my day trip in Blackpool its a lovely town & 40p is a bit steep for the loos i recommend riding the Knott End ferrry as i rode that ferry for the first time too which i never done before & the trams is a great network but i think theres room for improvements & a day ticket is good vale as you can use it on Blackpool Transport buses aswell brilliant vlog as always

Loved the video "G" True story for you. The North Euston Hotel. 1978: Fleetwood Open Sea fishing competition (from the beach). Yours's truly as a 16 year old fishing with my father and two Uncles got in the prizes and the weights were good. At the prize presentations when they read out the results in reverse order they got closer and closer to the top prize. Got to the top five and my Uncle Ted disappeared to the bar. He returned with the drinks but instead of the coke I was expecting he'd bought me a Half pint of beer! On that day I had my first half pint of beer. PS: I took third place and got a Decanter and Glass set that I gave to Mum (God rest her soul) 44 years later and I can remember it better than what I did last week. 🤔.

@colinvespa4709 Минуту назад

I'm suprised you've never been on them before, I've been on them since I was a teenager and remembered the old style ones which gave solid service over the years and the new one seemed ok just takes some getting used to and I rode the special trip to the North Station extension before it opened up to the public. I've driven trams for 10 years in a museum setting, sadly no longer due to circumstances, I can easily drive it again as it's just like riding a bike. 😊

Since when there was a Greggs at North Station! But like to know what Blackpool Trams are playing at as they not serving the tram stop after 7pm? But still a enjoyable video G. Funny that Fleetwood was once part of the West Coast Main Line as a northern terminus between 1841 to 1848 when you could take a Ferry from Fleetwood to Ardrossan and then take the train to Glasgow and it was the fastest route at the time.

blackpool transport has no care or want for real time signs it seems, also you need to come back and get the heritage trams, the roof on the heritage building is crumbling so 4 or so trams are being kept in the starr gate depot for use and the rest are rotting away at rigby road, also yeah a single on the tram costs £3.50 so if u take more then 1 trip its worth it to get a day ticket
