For some context for you guys, I was the conductor on Tram 4, the one behind the tram on platform... The tram on platform had no crew due to a medical emergency at Thornton Gate earlier in the day, which held up the crew that was supposed to take that tram. Both trams were up to 30 minutes late at this point, power wasn't lost, and it wasn't a signal failure, it was just a bit of chaos due to the crew being held up at Thornton Gate. Sometimes Blackpool Transport cannot help this kind of situation, us conductors do get quite a bit of stick if there's a bit of a hold up on the system, we just try to help as best we can.. hope this clears it all up for everyone 🙂

Sending 4 trams at the same time up talbot road is asking for trouble! It's not the first time! Blackpool transport need to seriously sort the timetable out to stop this from happening or cause a serious accident due to the level of gridlock this causes!! There are times there is 4 trams on talbot road but yet you can drive talbot square to squires gate and NOT see another! What's that all about? We all know people in this town don't usually look before crossing the road! Not to mention the level of pollution the standing traffic causes! Trams are signalled in the same way as trains are, your reasoning makes no sense!

@@richardsloway7444 How does my reasoning make no sense? Please enlighten me... and no not specifically, trains are signalled by Red, Yellow and Green signals.. Trams are signalled by TCL's, SGI's and PPI's. I explained how the situation rose, the crew for the tram on platform were busy handling a medical emergency

I don't know how far back memories stretch, but trams in Talbot Square isn't new! In the 1960s there was the Marton line. It started from Talbot Square and went up Clifton Street, Abingdon Street and Church Street before going along Whitegate Drive, passed South Station on Waterloo Road, a short bit of Lytham Road before terminating on Station Road, by Pablo's...... Who remembers Pablo's?

Since the Blackpool Tram has been extended to Blackpool North tram stop opposite to the railway station. I do think that Blackpool North station itself needs a massive upgrade with a much better bigger station concourse.

Funny reminds me of a jam we had on Redcliffe Bridge in Bristol many moons ago, Unfortunately our sad demented council bought some of London's bendy buses and one day in rush hour a few of these nasties caught up with each other and filled the entire road going over Redcliffe bridge, we didn't have these long thank goodness, we have a couple of routes called Metrobus cost millions to set up and when they tested the routes they found some of the routes weren't wide enough for the buses and the buses were too tall for some of the bridges.

You were certainly in the right place at the right time Stephen. Never seen those trams piled up like that before. However I can see the reason for it as explained by one of the conductors in the comments here. I like the idea of trams running up to North Station but there are the critics and haters of the scheme, Friday and Saturday night drunks being one of them.

This is like a bad investment for them to put a tram in the middle of the road. UK roads are not big enough for this. There’s no actual way out of town and the trams is what cause a lot of stress and anger from drivers.

The tram extension was the biggest waste of money going. The traffic anyway caused by the tram extension regardless of braking down is way too much that causes any town centre driving unbearable at peak times, not to mention the dangers of the drunks coming out of ma kellys onto oncoming trams

If there was no crew to relive the crew of 002 , why didn’t the crew of 002 just go a few hundred yards further to the terminus . Instead of blocking the route and causing a tram jam that blocked the road junction. There are two tracks at the terminus , why not wait there.

So it wasn’t really a major problem, nothing mechanical going wrong. Just delays and a lack of staff causing bunching. This could be avoided if there was an inspector or someone regulating them - move passengers, curtail the route, send one away empty etc. Better communication and someone in charge would’ve prevented this.
