This week we bring you another Photo Gallery this one featuring those trams which ran in passenger service in Blackpool during 2011. 32 different trams are featured with photos and text by Andrew Waddington with some additional photos from Trams Today's Andrew Blood. * Elsewhere on the site this week we have all the usual news updates including more tram moves from Rigby Road depot and the continued woes in 2012 of Manchester Metrolink passengers with delays and dispruption almost every day. Don't forget the News Page now has the potential to be updated every day just not when the main site is updated! Gareth - 22nd January 2012 |

| Problems for Metrolink's T68s |
 |
|
The original trams on the Manchester Metrolink network - the T68s - have been in the news for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks with a number of high profile breakdowns which have led Transport for Greater Manchester to publically put the blame on the 20 year old vehicles. It is the intention of TfGM to replace these trams as soon as possible with up to 12 already expected not to see 2012 out and with these continued problems being experienced by the T68s they may well look to accelerate the withdrawal of the entire fleet. This weeks cover photo shows 1006 near to Piccadilly on 3rd May 2011.
