The likelihood is that your tram will take the outer left hand track in the direction of travel closest to the wall upon which can now be found a toilet block and children\u2019s playground but was once home to a Crazy Golf course. Nowadays you may also find plenty of tram enthusiasts up there as well taking photos of the trams! With the tram heading north we soon arrive at Sandhurst Avenue. The stop is of the standard Blackpool Tramway design: platforms either side of the tracks with shelters on both sides, information panels, stop sign and lighting columns.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41673\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=41673\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-41673\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41673\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-41673\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9a.sandhurstavenue-gp-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9a.sandhurstavenue-gp-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9a.sandhurstavenue-gp-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9a.sandhurstavenue-gp-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/9a.sandhurstavenue-gp.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-41673\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of the stop with the Irish Sea in the background.
