It may seem that they never went away (in fact there has been a gap of just 6 days since the 2021 season of heritage tours came to an end!) but Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours are back for 2022 with both Promenade and Coastal Tours now available for booking through their website \u2013 and for the Coastal Tours there has been a bit of a tweak to the offering.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Having run since the end of the first lockdown in 2020 as pre-bookable tours using one of the fleet of heritage trams based at Rigby Road Depot both Promenade and Coastal Tours will be running in a similar format until at least mid-April. For Promenade Tours there is no change as they will continue to run from North Pier and Tower up to Bispham\/Little Bispham and then south to Pleasure Beach and back to North Pier and Tower.<\/p>\n

The length of the journey also seems to be have been amended as it no longer includes a trip down to Pleasure Beach with it running North Pier and Tower-Fleetwood-North Pier and Tower.<\/p>\n
Tours have been announced for the following dates:<\/p>\n
All these tours will seemingly be in the hands of a Balloon Car \u2013 either something traditional of from the B-fleet \u2013 with Coastal Tours at 1040 and Promenade Tours at 1410 and 1540. Coastal Tours cost \u00a38 for Adults and \u00a34 for Children with Promenade Tours \u00a36 for Adults and \u00a33 for Children.<\/p>\n
