It may seem hard to believe, but Blackpool’s Heritage Tram Tours will soon be five years old! The price of a day ticket has remained the same since the service began at Easter 2012, but is set to rise by \u00a31 for the start of the 2017 season.<\/p>\n

The new fare structure will see the price of an adult heritage day ticket rise to \u00a311 (this of course covers unlimited travel on all heritage tours – including evening illumination tours when these operate – as well as travel on the core LRT service and Blackpool Transport’s bus network). A single round trip between Pleasure Beach and North Pier or Cabin will now cost \u00a33.50 for adults and \u00a32 for children.<\/p>\n
With the heritage operation seemingly attracting more interest from the general public than ever before in 2016, now is probably a good time to put up the prices and in fairness, \u00a311 for a day of tram riding on an 11 mile track is still very good value – although the extra \u00a31 could create more work for conductors who will have more loose change to deal with! Still, that should be a small price to pay if, as hoped, it makes the service even more profitable as it could help more historic trams to be returned to service in the months and years ahead.<\/p>\n
The first chance to ride on a heritage tram in Blackpool this year will be on the weekend of January 28th & 29th when six trams will run an intensive ‘gold’ service on both days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
