| Unofficial Blackpool Tramway 125 website launched |
|
|
An unofficial website celebrating 125 years of the Blackpool Tramway was launched earlier this month – a joint venture between British Trams Online and Tramways Monthly. The website can be found at http://www.blackpooltramway125.co.uk and aims to provide all the latest news and updates as the tramway prepares for 125th Anniversary celebrations in September.
But that’s not all that the website will be providing! There will be extensive coverage of the events as they unfold (this should include photos not used on either BTO or TM), profiles of the visiting and resident tramcars taking place in the events, information and photos from previous tram events in the resort and in the future much, much more. To read more about this website and why it has been launched please click here for our news story on its launch. Gareth - 7th February 2010 Please email with any comments, suggestions or news for the site, I attempt to answer every email I receive (eventually). |

The Lancastrian Transport Trust have secured the first Blackpool Twin Car for preservation following the news that 676+686 have become the latest trams to join their ever increasing collection. The pair have not operated in service since 2004 and are seen in this view at North Pier on 8th September 2003.

| British Trams Online is an enthusiast run website for enthusiasts. It should be able to be viewed at all screen resolutions but I do advise you that it is probably best at 1024x768. The site is owned, maintained (and in the main written) by Gareth Prior. Any comments or suggestions please email. |
