The overnight work to install the overhead for the Blackpool Tramway extension has been continuing and in this latest update we see the removal of some overhead poles to the west of the mainline and the installation of an extra frog on the south curve. We also nip up to the old Wilko’s site for the latest images from there following the concrete pour.
Looking up at the wiring on the main (Prom) line with the wiring heading off to the right on the south curve. A new frog has been installed here.
A view from the Prom into Talbot Square showing the wiring already in place. (Photographs x2 by Tony Armitage, 6th August 2021)
It appears that its not just concrete with has been poured as there is rain on the ground at Wilko’s as well. This view shows the scene looking directly along the inbound line.
And another view of the Wilko’s site towards the scissors crossover. (Photographs x2 by Tony Armitage, 7th August 2021)
