[@grindelston5968]

Well this is just brilliant news. Well done and congratulations to all involved. And I'm so glad to hear that a deprived area is getting some love as well as heritage being preserved, because when it's gone it's gone forever. So well done Blackpool!

[@BlueHToys]

I’ve just come back from Blackpool after doing so much filming. So much more to film there, need to go back more. Thanks for this mate 👍🏻

[@AdventureMe]

Have fun!

[@juliec70]

Wow great video love the 710 beautiful tram 🚊

[@AdventureMe]

Thank you very much!

[@jetsons101]

Darren, If I only lived in England, working at "Tram Town" would be a blast ---- I am a licensed mechanic......... Have you ever been to the Beamish Living Museum or the Black Country Living Museum ????? At 8:54 the Tram Controller looks like a industrial piece of art. Thanks Darren and have a great day.

I needed to know why they don't dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!! And please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.

How brilliant is that, so pleased all restorations being done. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care

[@Terry.W]

Great news Blackpool has a fantastic history..

[@shirleysmith1713]

Brilliant for Blackpool, always interested in the trams. Especially the Heritage of them. Thanks Darren 👍🏻😀

[@rachaelhardcastle5158]

Sounds great Darren - I'll look forward to visiting when it's complete - thanks for all your fab videos! 😊

[@waynepaxford7263]

Brilliant video Darren I do love the old blackpool trams they are amazing part of Blackpool history it also great to see Jane nordog (Gordon) Stephen walk on the wild side on your video too they great KZbinrs too let's hope they will get it done soon I can't wait for next video I hope you and your family and friends are well and safe

[@RobinHullBuilds]

Hey Darren - what fabulous news for the future of the Blackpool trams and for Blackpool itself. The development will, I’m sure, bring a whole new generation of fans of the trams to the historic seaside town. And, best of all, you were recognised for being the wonderful KZbinr that you are. Congratulations my friend! …and was that the handheld RØDE Mic I saw?

[@AdventureMe]

Yes. I use the rode wireless mics, but I bought the handheld stick for interviews. Just never used it.

[@hollimurray8856]

Brilliant news! 😁 you look all professional with your microphone lol a newsreader lol

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks! 😃

[@topmandog1]

unfortunately 1 year larer the roof is damaged and no trams have been restored or anything, also the ideas for a musuem really should have been done in the 2000s when they sold and scrapped loads of trams

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello Darren are you and Barney well love your alwaome vidio of the tram town its so good to see the tram back that run over Alan Bradley its good to see Steve from walk on the wayside and jane her husband Kevin and her dad Derek is there too we are hoping to come to Blackpool next month and maybe have a visit there to tram town best wishes piece x

[@cedarcam]

This looks to be a fantastic project. I am sure it will be better located than the failed Transperience which was outside Bradford.

[@dcallan812]

Some great news cant wait to visit, I loved the old illuminated trams running up and down the prom. ❤❤

[@davidberlanny3308]

Very interesting video and well presented. I'm sure it will be a great asset to Blackpool. Good luck from Spain!!

[@olivergould3878]

Also check out some of the Blackpool tram DVD's Nick Meskell does a fantastic job telling you update's and knowledge of the Tram's and he's got good humour too

[@thomaslister950]

This is great news and probably long overdue. I do hope that TramTown can work alongside the National Tramway Museum and maybe bring trams that have run in various other Towns and Cities for display and maybe run here. Would especially like to see Leeds Vambac Railcoach 602 here. I live in hope. Thanks.Darren

[@highpath4776]

The is a National Tramways museum at Crich, Staffs. Tramtown is much better for Blackpool being Blackpool (area) based heritage, but with scope for the odd visiting tram to come and run too.

[@paulharvey9149]

Lovely to see you all there, Darren. The National Tramway Museum isn't exactly accessible to those of us without private cars, so you may have hit on something there... Only, insist on having your portrait hung permanently in the exhibition area, then you'll always be the eye candy!

[@juneholroyd8287]

Great video Darren as usual, can't wait to get back to Blackpool myself in a couple of weeks yay.

[@paulnutter1713]

Good vid Darren, I remember being took there in 1970 by the old man who loved trains and by association trams. Have since done the same with my brats at Crich

[@Andrewjg_89]

Nice to see you and Nodrog in the video at Blackpool. Those trams are so colourful. Even some that still have history in them.

[@sampoole9549]

I've watched a few of the videos filmed at this event and have to say, yours is the best. Really well produced. 👍

[@dianeshepherd7913]

Thanks for the video exciting times ahead, love riding on trams.

[@jennifers8223]

yay i'm glad you've done another blackpool video

[@colinevans39]

Just wish that the real poverty everywhere was this well addressed 🙄😤😳

✔️ terrific news, Cheers DougT

[@thisisbob1001]

Good kept it in Leicester we just demolished all tram shed

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

I do love Trams, looks like it will be amazing. I often go to Crich Tramway Museum in Matlock to ride on the vintage ones.

[@stevewalters4845]

Great to see and will have go have a visit next time I’m over there

[@laviniajohnson9210]

Great video highlighting the situation.

[@malcolmrichardson3881]

A very exciting and worthwhile project, which deserves every success.

[@kennethtarran1525]

Great little video Darren. Very professionally done too if I may say so. Good to see all you KZbinrs together for this momentous announcement and presentation. I foresee lots more opportunities for future videos at TramTown on the horizon. Best wishes.

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks 👍. Me too

[@bd4_l]

Lovely news. Wish them all the best!

[@nicklowe536]

Fantastic news and a long time coming

[@olivergould3878]

Gutted when I went to San Francisco I didn't know it had a small tram museum and gutted I didn't see the Blackpool boat cars I thought it had a couple in San Francisco and think 606 went to Ohio?

[@AdventureMe]

Yeah there's a few of them. I only saw one.

[@amc5966]

There are 2 gondola open top trams in Blackpool Transport colours that run in San Francisco. My sister (Blackpool girl) lives out there and sees them all time. They still have Pleasure Beach destination signs on them too.

[@petedix2554]

We visited San Francisco on honeymoon a few years ago, sadly I didn't know that they were there, or would have tried to ride them. We did see the trams, but didn't get to go on them, although we did do the cable car, which was awesome.

[@shirleylynch7529]

Brilliant Darren. Great news for Blackpool. Well done you too as the Councillor said you helped make it happen. A proud day for you all .

[@Sim0nTrains]

Brilliant news, nice to see 710 as well, great video

[@AdventureMe]

Many thanks!

[@caleblindley7142]

Great video, I've never been on a tram, and that's first time I've seen inside of a tram. How the heck do you drive it with the steering wheel in the corner?

[@AdventureMe]

Haha. Don't need much steering lol

[@nickthomas181]

Great news! I'm back at Tram Town in August.Great to see you Darren and a superb vlog as always.All the best!

[@AdventureMe]

Enjoy nick

[@havingalook2]

How tres exciting.

[@gaz11h]

Sounds great will have to have a trip up to see the depot most of my tram vids are shot at Crich with being local to the museum but great to see Blackpool looking after it's transport heritage

[@AdventureMe]

Still haven't been to crich yet

[@gaz11h]

@@AdventureMe well worth a visit plenty of Blackpool trams

[@oddsandwindsocks5905]

Great news Darren

[@j.d.sunderland8113]

Yep, this is brilliant news, have visited the place ( great now to be able to, 30 years ago when you went to “take a peak” there was always somebody shouting at you to “clear off”!!). However I really have my doubts about if it will actually happen, I was involved in the old West Yorkshire Transport Museum project back in the late eighties, early nineties.. Similar idea, go from damp leaking shed to a nice new museum, plenty of money spent on architects and consultants, nice drawings, but look what happened to Transperience….. Incidentally, that may make a good subject for a video from you, part of the tram line still survives…. BTW, hope I am proved wrong, and TramTown is a success… ;-)

[@AdventureMe]

Yes I have transperience on my list. I went with school. My mates dad ran the place.

[@j.d.sunderland8113]

Oohh, this could prove very interesting then…. It’s actually interesting that the old Ludlum Street depot was basically condemned as structurally unsound, hence the move to Low Moor, yet 30 years later Ludlum Street depot still stands proudly, yet the buildings at Transperince have either been demolished or repurposed…

[@martinmarsola6477]

Thank you for the instantaneous video on the Blackpool TramTown. Always a great video to watch. See you on the next, Darren. Cheers mate! 😊

[@AdventureMe]

Thanks 👍

[@tomgirldouble3249]

Where is the National tram museum then? I thought Blackpool would have been the place as trams are so associated with the town.🤔great news though wish them all the best with the project..

[@AdventureMe]

Crich in Derbyshire

[@tomgirldouble3249]

@@AdventureMe well looking at the museum it looks amazing, a bit like Beamish…but never heard of it before or the place. Sad that Blackpool hasn’t got something similar as it’s so associated with trams.

[@davepo38]

Hi ,Darren when are you covering the old concrete bridges near rothwell Country Park to the old skelton Grange Country Park it's being 2 years and waiting

[@davepo38]

Meant to say skelton Grange power station

[@AdventureMe]

I don't know if it's interesting enough, I need a good story angle.

[@davepo38]

As I live in rothwell, not old enough to remember but interested in rothwell and surrounding areas of the industrial revolution

[@davepo38]

Not slightly interested in fairgrounds waste of money

[@davidnm21]

Beautifully presented video vlog Darren and some good news for Tramtown. Delighted to see a good press turnout and some familiar faces from KZbin. Only seems like five minutes ago the Halloween special.

[@AdventureMe]

Sure does

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

That sounds like a great project for Blackpool. Years ago there was a programme on channel 4 called Salvage Squad and one of the presenters was Suggs from the group Madness. They restored an old Blackpool Tram, I’ve often wondered if it is still there but no doubt it was so long ago it probably needs restoration again.

[@dancedecker]

It is indeed still there. Coronation Car originally numbered 304 (641). It does apparently need some more restoration now as that was many years ago, but it is hopefully easily acheivable in the not too distant. Sister car 663 though, will probably be the first to hit the tracks again, as that has had a lot of work done to it recently.

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

@@dancedecker thanks thats good to know it is still around, it was a lovely series was Salvage Squad.

Rita??!!!! Thud, classic nice to hear about the work that’s going on at tram town, all I need is a winning lottery ticket and tram 710 will be restored to running condition

[@AdventureMe]

My sentiments exactly.

[@Catbells21]

How will it be funded ? Lottery Money ? Donations ? Will need millions , but needs doing for the future.

[@AdventureMe]

A bit of everything. Crowd funding, income from tours, council grants, lottery etc

[@rmirmi8377]

They have been given a grant of £800,000 towards the project.
