The August Bank Holiday weekend will see the latest Enhanced Weekend of operation for Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours with the heritage trams due to be operating various journeys between Pleasure Beach and Fleetwood over all three days between Saturday 26th and Monday 28th August.
The same hop-on, hop-off timetable as has been seen at recent Enhanced Weekends will again be running which sees five trams allocated to service. The first departure of each day will be at 0955 from North Pier to Thornton Gate with the day ending with dual services to Fleetwood which then depart back south at 1710 and 1715 respectively.
