Now into their second month the trackworks on the Blackpool Tramway are now seemingly coming towards a conclusion with trams now able to run all the way through to Fleetwood Ferry although the southern end has now seen a temporary return to Harrow Place serving as the terminus as the welding gang have returned to Starr Gate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Services were advertised as returning to Fleetwood Ferry on Saturday 13th<\/sup> March although reports from that day suggest that they were still running from Starr Gate to Fisherman\u2019s Walk (Ash Street). The Blackpool Transport website had been updated a few days earlier to say they would run to the Ferry from that day and was not changed so its not known for certain when trams managed to reach the far end of the tramway again.<\/p>\n

What seem to be the only remaining works on the tramway now are at Starr Gate and hopefully they will be completed over the next few days \u2013 there is no update as to when the tramway may fully open again for the first time since Saturday 13th<\/sup> February.<\/p>\n
