Its been another couple of days of interest in Blackpool with the single-line working between North Pier and Cabin finally matching the description on the Blackpool Transport website (at least for a day anyway!) whilst a couple more feeder wires have been installed in Talbot Square and up at Wilko’s.
This article starts off on Wednesday 15th December when further trackworks got underway at North Pier – this time on the northbound line. This meant that the tram service operating actually finally matched what had been put on the Blackpool Transport website as trams both north and south were running from North Pier to Cabin and back on the southbound line. The work was taking place between 0800 and 1600 which were the hours of this single-line working. It had been expected this would continue on Thursday 16th December as well but observations showed a normal tram service running so whether these works are now over or not remains to be seen.
Away from the trackworks and there has been further significant process on the overhead installation. This has seen the latest feeder cables in both Talbot Square and up at Wilko’s completed. Could this be the end of the overhead installation?
