With the Blackpool Tramway currently still being in its winter season there are only trams running every 15 minutes end to end with the majority going via North Station on their way between Starr Gate and Fleetwood Ferry. It means there is less variety to capture on the line with the full Flexity2 fleet not required to operate that service. As the new enhanced service due to operate by the summer still waited this pictorial article takes a look at some sights of the trams on Wednesday 5th<\/sup> March 2025.

014 continues to try and encourage businesses to advertise on the trams but it seems it has rather limited success with very few new adverts seen over the past 12 months. The tram is seen here running along Fleetwood Esplanade at the start of its journey to Starr Gate via North Station.<\/p><\/div>\n

012 is one tram which has had a full wrap for Pleasure Beach since August 2023. In late 2024 the tram had received a replacement end panel which was in normal fleet livery but this has now seen full advertising vinyls applied once again, presumably a sign that this advert is here to stay for a while yet. Also seen on Fleetwood Esplanade.<\/p><\/div>\n

Into Blackpool and just by Talbot Square junction with the youngest tram in the fleet, 018 seen just about to head up Talbot Road.<\/p><\/div>\n

The bright yellow 016 certainly can\u2019t be missed! Advertising Coral Island since March 2024 in this view we see it just coming back onto the Prom after heading up to North Station. Its bound for Starr Gate.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

015 is also seen at the junction as it heads up to North Station.<\/p><\/div>\n

Another shot of 012 as it turns off the Prom and is about to cross the road to go into Talbot Square, up Talbot Road and onto North Station. (All Photographs by Steven Hughes, 5th March 2025)<\/p><\/div>\n
