Gareth - 7th November 2026
The Blackpool Tramway has seen a bit more green and cream since the end of September with Flexity2 012 receiving a special wrap. The new livery replaces its damaged purple and white livery (which received damage after Pleasure Bach advertising vinyls were taken off) and has made the tram one to catch for many enthusiasts! In this photo we see the tram at Pleasant Street on North Promenade with it heading north to Fleetwood Ferry. This image was taken on 28th September 2026.
This week's photos come from the Blackpool Tramway. In the collection we see the modern Flexity2 trams as they operate along the length of the 11-mile tramway, including a new look for 012 which has a new set of green and cream vinyls.
This week there are updates this week to the Blackpool Tramway (photo links), Docklands Light Railway (201 into service), Edinburgh Trams (new advert), Manchester Metrolink (new adverts), National Tramway Museum (photo links), South Wales Metro (more enter service), South Yorkshire Supertram (photo links) and West Midlands Metro (revised advert and photo links) Fleet Lists. There are also updates to the Edinburgh Trams (new advert), Manchester Metrolink (new adverts) and West Midlands Metro (revised advert and photo links) Advert Lists.
This week we have said goodbye to another main season at the National Tramway Museum and there have been more photos coming from Sheffield as poppies adorn the trams and revised services runs during engineering works. Meanwhile, the West Midlands Metro sees a revised advert for TK Maxx on 50. Major engineering works on Manchester Metrolink finished on time as 4km of track was replaced between Cornbrook and Deansgate-Castlefield and in Sheffield there has been another progress update on the Birley Lane mineshaft.
