After what must have been the longest winter timetable in the history of the Blackpool Tramway, here will finally be an increase in frequency of trams from Sunday 26th<\/sup> June. This will mean trams will run every 12 minutes for most of the day instead of the current 15 minute frequency which has been in operation since the illuminations were switched off at the start of January.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new timetable from Sunday 26th<\/sup> June will run as follows:<\/p>\n

Monday-Friday<\/strong><\/p>\n

First tram Starr Gate-Fleetwood \u2013 0500<\/p>\n

First tram Fleetwood-Starr Gate \u2013 0605<\/p>\n

The 12 minute frequency kicks in from 0700 from Starr Gate (0805 from Fleetwood) and runs all the way until 1800. There are then trams at 1800, 1815, 1830 and 1845 to Fleetwood before alternate trams run only as far as Little Bispham giving a tram every 30 minutes to Fleetwood (every 15 minutes on the Starr Gate-Little Bispham section)<\/p>\n
