In a way it is sad to see that some of the old cars which were running 20 years ago are no longer in regular service but the new modern trams provide a clean, quick, friendly and efficient mode of travel. Full marks to Blackpool Corporation for their initiative. I understand that some of the old trams have been restored... More

£4.80 buys you a day pass unlimited trips up and down the promenade with stops every 2 or 3 mins! We used it day and night very clean and felt very safe

Great value - you can use your bus pass. Lovely trams now, spotless and with a conductor on board. Shame all services don't still have the old fashioned conductors, feels much safer.

We stayed South side in Blackpool and walked up to the North side on a nice sunny day. By time we had done this, walked the piers, done the arcades etc. we were glad of the trams. Great value, especially since having an upgrade. Regular, clean, friendly service. A must for a novelty :-)
