Gallery 576: Blackpool Tramway - October Half Term 2015

The October school half term is traditionally the busiest week for the Blackpool Tramway in the whole year and 2015 was no different. After problems the previous year a much improved service was in use over the week which not only included timetabled services but also specials using both the B fleet Balloons and Flexity2 trams. In addition there was a daily heritage service alongside the normal Illumination Tours meaning there was plenty of variety on offer for the visitor to Blackpool. In this collection we features images from all three fleets of trams over a three day period during October Half Term 2015.

All Photographs in this collection were taken by Bob Hodges between 26th and 28th October 2015.
