[@cosmic4037]

Spent my last holidays in UK before leaving, in Blackpool. I know its changed over in UK now. I know Blackpool as changed. But one day I would live to take a ride on those old classic clanging trams again.

[@andrewcairns7502]

Great video. Thank you.

[@colinparry3419]

Always great to see the OMO trams in their red livery 😊

[@speakfreeley4473]

Managed to catch a brief listen to the song 'Amarillo' at 9:05. Long before Peter Kay made it "fashionable".

[@martsstricky1988]

fantastic video, thanks for uploading, great to see how the tramway used to be, compared with what it it today

[@cannadineboxill-harris2983]

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 that 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 and more Easily? Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train station 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.

Hi, Thanks for sharing this. Great to look at Blackpool and trams in the 80's :)

[@santarudolph470]

The outside of sandcastle water park looked so different then.

[@malcolmmenzies4958]

Awesome.

[@dalrigh]

Great and interesting video to watch, thanks for posting.

[@Lyca31]

My dad drove trams throughout the 80s.. I was looking to see if I could spot him in any of the cabins.. but I couldn't tell :)

[@petermontgomery85]

My Dad also drove these trams in late 50s and 60s. He was mostly a bus driver but during the summer he loved the trams.

[@michaelwalton9528]

u stupid fuck wit u got more chance of spotting a white man in Bradford

[@andrewhanbury1799]

The scrap yard scene😭😭😭😭😭

[@uk-martin4905]

That was the bus garage yard at a time when some of the single-deck one-man cars were being broken up. Alongside were 3 Leyland Atlanteans - 310, 335 and 342 if I remember correctly - which had been damaged by fire whilst they were parked there overnight. The single-deck trams had recently been displaced by a small batch of brand new single-deck trams bodied by East Lancs, which were ultimately to replace all the remaining former railcoaches which had been rebuilt for one-man operation in the early 1970s. They had entered service in 1972 and it was their success that ultimately ensured the future of the tramway.

[@tryffan-ddu009-layout9]

My OO gauge railway is set on the coast. I'm going to include trams. Does anyone know how I can incorporate that distinctive clanging sound as they travel along? Thanks, JT.

[@bjorklive2379]

How ironic that you see car 5 at 6:04 and car 8 straight after. The only 2 survivors,one of which is just rotting in a shed when it should be back in blackpool.

[@lindsaypeterholden2701]

Brilliant and Very interesting Film.Can You still see some of these beauties preserved Today?If so,Please could someone tell me,I would be very greatfull.10/10.

[@paulholland5270]

[@TheIntercityhst]

[@arthurmatthews9321]

Were they using a rolling pin as a single line staff ?

[@gtacrusher123]

have you seen the difrence between the matinence tram from the vid @2:44 compared to todays one

[@mistofoles]

Presumably the track is closed to other trams while the maintenance tram is at work?

[@HStrab]

yes, it was.

[@michaelwalton9528]

[@888ssss]

[@2259Ben]

That omo is in poor shape.... 0:38

[@stephenduncan3605]

2259Ben yeah I saw that, what with the Blackpool Transport logo crudely glued on the bodywork! Think that particular tram might have been scrapped that season

[@MrWelshJoe]

It was indeed scrapped only 2 months after this footage was taken

[@NicLee69]

OMO 4 I believe and yes it was scrapped that year

[@bjorklive2379]

@@NicLee69 says 9 on the side

[@arthurmatthews9321]

A lot of the omos were in poor condition. They were used all year round and didn’t receive much maintenance. The last five in service 1,5,8,10 and 11 managed to survive until the mid 90s before they were withdrawn.
