    terrific coverage and some great shots - thanks for taking the time to compile this production - sadly I only get to Blackpool once in a blue moon and your videos are a godsend of a substitute

    Thanks for your kind comments railwaychannel. It's great that you can still see and hear the old trams still running in Blackpool.

    Well done Gary, great as ever. I had chance to ride the flexities a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed. Still miss the old stuff but it good to be able to rely on the fleet now.

    Great video once again, and nice to see the heritage tours a bit busier, which will hopefully make them continue them next year.

    The green fencing was for Elton John Concert and also the reason why half a dozen Flexity trams were stranded for a few nights at the Imperial Hotel. The points are controlled by transponder equipment in the tram.

    I would of thought it would be running soon after going to the expense of repainting it. Thanks for watching Doctortrek.

    I do wish Manchester had such a wide range of different tram shapes like Blackpool does.

    The heritage service is starting to look a bit healthier, lets hope it continues. Thanks for your kind comments srpott40.

    I think the reason for 700 being modernised as appose to 717, is that 717 was nearer to original condition than 700 was. It was a shame they couldn't of left 700 alone, but at least it is still a runner. Thanks for your very kind comments 2259Ben.

    The Flexity's are a nice smooth ride, just know character about them. Thanks for your kind comments FishyCam.

    Blackpool is lucky in that it still operates the old and new, long may it continue. Thanks for watching TheMilesBOX.

    I never realized that the trailer for the western train was once a pantograph tram.

    I always thought that the curves and points on the new tramway are a bit tight for the new trams. Thanks for watching Colin Ward.

    OMO 8 is unlikely to ever run again in Blackpool and their is only one OMO in Blackpool that I know of. Thanks for your watching and your kind comments Doctortrek1.

    Not sure what livery 631 will be in, but it's good to know it has the seats out of 700. The dewires on 600 do point to trolley pole problems with this tram as Bolton 66 was out on the same day and was OK. Thanks for watching Ashtramcrazy.

    They have made me happy with the changes of the 700! Hopefully, it will be running regularly with the flexity 2's!

    Rigby Road now only have two Centenary cars left, so in years to come I think they will be appreciated more like OMO 8. Thanks for watching Doctortrek1.

    Quite liked the new livery on 700.
