The details on the Blackpool Transport website states a 20 minute service runs from 0500 until 1630 \u201cwhilst works take place\u201d and then every 15 minutes from then until the end of the day. It also mentions that Cliffs Hotel, Gynn Square, Wilton Parade and Pleasant Street will only have the northbound stops served by trams in both directions.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s not clear though is whether this is just until 1630 and after that normal working is in place. Observations on the first day at around 1520 showed that there was no single-line working in place \u2013 whether this was because the work had finished early for the day or not isn\u2019t clear \u2013 let\u2019s hope passengers were waiting on the right platforms for their intended journeys!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42650\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42650\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-42650\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.010-ta-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.010-ta-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.010-ta-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.010-ta-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.010-ta.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-42650\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">010 at Cabin about to set off for Starr Gate.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_42651\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42651\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-42651\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.010-ta-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.010-ta-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.010-ta-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.010-ta-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.010-ta.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-42651\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">010 heads south away from Cabin on the correct track.
