It is awards season across many different sectors and Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours are celebrating having won \u201cExperience of the Year\u201d at the Lancashire Tourism Awards.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Lancashire Tourism Awards is the largest and only county-wide recognition of tourism excellence in Lancashire. They highlight outstanding achievements across various sectors of the visitor economy and showcase the top talent in Lancashire\u2019s tourism industry.<\/p>\n
It could be said that considering that all heritage tram operations were suspended late last year, this award win is a little bit awkward but it does look back at what had happened before and so it is a good recognition of all that the team achieved over most of 2024.<\/p>\n
In a statement Blackpool Transport said: \u201cA huge congratulations to Emma, Carl, and the entire Heritage Tram Tours team for their incredible hard work, dedication, and passion, which have been key to their success. Their unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional experience has truly set them apart, and this well-deserved recognition is a testament to their outstanding efforts. We couldn’t be prouder of their achievement!\u201d<\/p>\n
On the subject of the future of Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours, if you have been on social media or noticed the comments section on these pages a recent update was given to members of the Fylde Tramway Society. In this it was stated that they hope operations may resume in time for the illuminations with more significant work on the trams likely to be sub-contracted with the heritage workshop staff being redeployed or made redundant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
