I love the tramway. It is much more convenient for work purposes as the buses are highly unreliable in comparison. Also handy that you can buy Blackpool Transport saver tickets and use them on the buses too! Only downside, I found in peak season at peak times (8.30am-6pm) it was very cramped and had to stand up from Fleetwood to... More

Was an enjoyable excursion with the lights shining magnificently, the speed gave us plenty of chances to view the lights and once again take many photographs,seeing all the traffic at a standstill we thought this was the ideal way to observe the resort.

Bought a 3 day tram pass for £10.50, this was very good value as you could use it on the buses also.

These trams are almost all brand new and very comfortable. If you are the holder of a OAP bus pass you can also you it on the trams to get free transport..

We have just spent a couple of days in Blackpool and brought the day pass for £4.50 which was invaluable. We could hop on and off the trams or buses all day and night!!! We visited Fleetwood, Clevelys and Blackpool in one day and although we were exhausted we certainly got our monies worth!!!

It's been a few years since we've been to Blackpool and the trams have had a real facelift, very posh even if they don't have the charm of the old ones. Hope they still use the illuminated ones when we return for the world famous illuminations!

Visited Blackpool half term week and found the service was not regular. We used the tram one evening to get back to the hotel and were charged an adult ticket for 3 children who were all under the age of 9 ! Was told best to purchase a day ticket, or don't take children out of an evening.
