Pretty sure the old trams are staying, but only operating between the pleasure beach and the Tower or somesuch, and only during the season.
But I think they'll be keeping a maintained fleet, and moreover, it won't be hard to find an old tram during the summer.
Not sure Blackpool's tramway really would benefit from modern trams though, it's always seemed like more of a tourist railway than anything. There's no real commuter benefit?
