[@stevensmith7460]

Evening Stephen, let's hope they keep the old trams running, they are part of Blackpools history but the new trams are great as well, they run a good comfortable and clean service, cheers mate.

Hi Stephen another cracking upload love the old trams very nostalgic and puts a smile on my face . Me and the wife and friends coming down thur 26th till Monday the 30th September . Love the place altho alot of the old places i remember from early 70’s and early 80’s are long gone i suppose time marches on this wil be my 50th year visiting Blackpool. And I loved my old Dad telling me about his visits in 50’s and 60’s godbless him . One place I won’t be visiting is the pleasure beach closed so early on a Friday night and not lit up what’s going on there I loved the days you could walk In for free and pay as you go even if they more reasonable with prices I’ve heard it’s £50+ now per person ouch last time I was in was nearly 20 years ago and remember when peak season and illuminations it was open till Midnight and all lit up at weekends .sadly days gone but nevertheless we will have great time love the resort just driving down from Glasgow leaving at 6:45 am gives us all a buzz and the memories and nostalgia are still there remember when all the theatres and piers had stars off the telly during the season . Ken Dodd , Freddie Starr , The Nolan’s , Russ Abbot , Jimmy Tarbuck and Bernard Manning to name a few the list is Endless keep up the fantastic content mate it puts a smile on my face .

[@hazelmanship7516]

Hi Stephen, you'd better get your ticket booked, the train is fantastic lit up, thanks for the look at the sea always nice to see it. Thanks take care 😊x

[@WilliamWatson-mk2yj]

Don't you just love the sound of them old trams the wheels rubbing off the tracks

[@juliewright-v3v]

thanks Stephen for another great video

[@georgesmellie8717]

Thanks again for another great vlog Stephen i hope to go on one of the illuminated Trams when I'm down in November

[@MaryMartin-k9h]

Another great video Stephen I love the trams. I have never been on a heritage Trams,I seen the one you were on the fish and chip one. That was good. ❤

[@PhilBurns-oc2vg]

Blackpool's illuminations wouldn't be the illuminations without the heritage trams . Hope to have a ride on one, one day or night as the case may be

[@Early100]

Fabulous, I’ve never been on any of the heritage trams but hopefully will one day. Love the drone footage over the illuminations at the end, I’d love to see that view all the way through from start to finish but it’s probably not possible. Thank you xx

[@YvonneMason-eb7lh]

Love this video Stephen, but just need to say that it's never 'just an ambulance'! 😄❤️

[@mildredschulz]

Hi Stephan , love the old trams and the illuminated trams. they are part of Blackpool. they are a tourist attraction, a great video with the trams and the view of the sea. take care and ill see you in the next one. Mildred. xxx

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Mildred.

[@imogenharrison3432]

The Heritage trams are possibly one of the only reasons to visit Blackpool, those and the tower ballroom. Still reasonably priced to take a lights tour on one. You feel a bit famous when you are on one and everyone is gawping at you going past.

[@martinwebb1681]

Great seeing the illuminated trams Stephen, look great of a night. I must say personally I prefer the normal vintage trams but these illuminated ones are also very nice especially when it's dark.

[@janobyrne2424]

I adore the Heritage trams Stephen wouldn't be Blackpool without them. Less chance of being run over at least you can hear them coming. Surprised to hear you've never been on one, hopefully you'll rectify that soon.😊😊😊

[@safctosh3735]

Good video Steven I'm here for week with work made the most of first two nights while weather looks okay

[@chatboy25]

When ITV started back in 1956 (outside London), the weekend programmes were provided by ABC Television for the North of England and the Midlands from studios in Didsbury in Manchester and Aston Cross in Birmingham. The Aston studios were shared with ATV who provided programmes during the week for the Midlands. Weekday programmes in the North of England were provided by Granada. The North of England was Lancashire and Yorkshire combined. In 1968 the region was split to form 2 regions - Granada, and Yorkshire TV.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Great info.

[@ian4699]

Fantastic video steve🎉

[@lesleybuckthorpe7455]

Thank you Stephen for a great vlog love to see the trams lit up.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MichelleMartin-ld6zg]

Hi Stephen another great video liked the lights on the team blackpool wouldn't be the same without all the lights from Michelle in Nottingham 😊😅😂

[@olivergould3878]

I did the ghost tram tour this year and have completed the illuminated tour a couple of times as a child.

[@karlsmith25]

i love seeing bunnies :)

[@karlsmith25]

you need to visit the crich tramway museum in derbyshire Steve, as they have some of the blackpool trams there :) even the black country museum in dudley has trams

[@Fonziedaz1]

the the noise your herd was the compresser pumping up the the air in the receiver tanks for the brakes on the tram 🚋

[@anthonyfeeney1210]

Have a good day 🍺

[@karlsmith25]

i have been on the lit up train and boat :)

[@BillyButlin123]

Think the noise from HMS Blackpool was the compressor for the brakes.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for the info.

[@stevesgaming7475]

I was on an illuminated tram back in the 80's. It was the Spaceship (Rocket) as I was (and still am) a huge space fan. it was okay inside with two astronaut models up front. but the visibility outside was quite poor tbh.

[@susanlitherland698]

hi 👋 Stephen ❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@smaza2009]

They look amazing but triggered my ocd I spent years designing and installing seasonal lights and was always straight onto any lamp that was not working, considering it's peak illuminations season i would be changing the blown ones every day so looks the part.

[@centureye]

In October me and Maxine are taking my mum on the Western Train we’ll try get some video of it

[@1harryrobert]

Hi Stephen, I love the old heritage trams. I used to go on them before the new ones came out. I've not been on the illuminated trams though. That noise is the electric compressor filling up the air tanks for the brakes. I don't understand why the Pleasure Beach is shutting early, it must be really making a loss. I wish she'd get rid of the entrance fee.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for the info.

[@stephenmcculley7]

The Western Train would more than likely have crossed back over at Foxhall.

[@stephenmcculley7]

The noise is the trams compressor.

[@sarahparker4676]

I being on light up trams for lights

[@paulhinds2495]

Hi Stephen would love to go on one of these trams but I use a mobility scooter so I can't

[@topmandog1]

Blackpool heritage trams needs money fast, if they dont get that roof fixed, they could end up selling trams, they are selling the 2 heritage buses

[@paulmaclachlan6960]

charging people to walk around the pleasure beach will kill it off , just like it did in Southport ,and let people pay to go on the rides they want to go on

[@karlsmith25]

the lights on the wheels used to make it look like the wheels were moving, have they stopped working??

[@liittlemiissd]

Will they be on Saturday?

[@stephenmcarthur-yn1gl]

Stephen can you tell me can wheelchairs get on these trams and the heritage ones

[@karlsmith25]

is it still £6 per person and it goes to bispham and bk to the pleasure beach? i know u can get off nr the tower :)

[@elizabethdonnelly6451]

Hi Stephen

[@theaverageparkrunner]

What happened to the rocket ?

[@dianemckill5708]

All your years in Blackpool and you've not booked a trip on the illuminated trams???😮 I read that the amount of international visitors coming to the pleasure beach covers all the costs, so to be honest I don't think the owners care about the normal working class people,

[@karlsmith25]

is the illuminated rocket one still going, and the fishermans friend boat??

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

No.

[@karlsmith25]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool ah right :)

[@CharlesBrown-d9k]

Whatever happened to The Rocket illuminated tram ?

[@martinwebb1681]

Apparently it's awaiting restoration.

[@JenniferPratt-n9k]

Hi there do you pay for being on the illuminated train or is it free

[@martinwebb1681]

No it's not free there is a charge for using the service.

[@stuartteasdale2212]

What is the price just two walk around the pleasure beach

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

£50

[@paige.tr0pical245]

Are can we meet ya Monday at Blackpool get a picture with the kids

[@racheljohnson9687]

I love the illuminated trams 🚊 it's a wonder the other boat tram wasn't out ( what is that ones name 🤔 ) it's a shame you never see the rocket tram. The starters on those trams are probably the same as the ones on the 2 Maxwell waltzers on the piers 😊

[@martinwebb1681]

The Trawler tram. Apparently the Rocket tram is awaiting restoration.

[@racheljohnson9687]

@martinwebb1681 Thank you. I couldn't remember its name 👌
