Blackpool’s heritage trams are to return to service along the promenade, the council has confirmed.
Blackpool Council has been working with Blackpool Transport Services to get the trams up and running again after they were suspended last December.
Operating the trams alongside the modern fleet had become increasingly challenging due to issues with depot space, tram movements, safety and maintenance conflicts.
A programme of works has now been agreed which will see the modifications made to enable heritage trams to return to service.
‘I am delighted that a solution has been found that will enable these much-loved trams to be back where they belong on the promenade later this year,’ said council leader Lynn Williams.
‘From the outset we said that this would only be a temporary pause in the service, and we would work to ensure they returned at the earliest opportunity.’
