Blackpool trams

[colchesterken]

I cannot believe it as someone who likes to go every 3 or 4 yrs just bor the atmasphere or the fish n chips pleasure beach and the trams always do the whole run out to fleetwood
are the trams really a commuter service or a tourist attraction
it is like the north york moors railway going over to deisel cos it is more efficent I think it is a big mistake

Apparently they want to run it as a modern commuter tramway, but I personally think it's appeal is as a tourist tramway. I don't think it serves the residents of Blackpool any better than a bus does.

Its the same story Yorkie, some bloody person who could not give a **** about Blackpool or memories, as long as he / she gets credit for killing it !!

No, you cant be serious, North Yorks going over to diesel ???
Well that just about sums things up mate when a railway like the North Yorks calls it a day on steam.

I have read this again and I think colchesterken was using it as an example rather than a statement of fact.

may be to fleetwood and back (when it opens)

Can i defend myself I was saying running moden trams in blackpool which is after a tourist attraction,is as daft as one of the heritage railways going over to diesel because it is more efficent
I dont thing the place will be the same

Tell you what lads, whether you're in favour or not, it's an interesting debate.
