Tramtown Blackpool TOUR - I Visit The Old Trams of Blackpool

I visit Tramtown in Blackpool at Rigby Road Transport's depot to show you all the heritage trams! including the famous illuminated trams such as the ABC Train Tram, The Rocket, HMS Blackpool and so much more! Bob & John are my personal tour guides! Tramtown has future plans to create a state-of-the-art visitor center and protect the precious vintage trams. A whole new roof is needed before this can happen so they need your help.

HELP These guys need your help to raise money for a new roof so if you can SHARE this video across your social media it would help get the word out as these old trams need protection. Thank you x

So many memories. My late grandad used to take me on the trams after treating me to a Knickerbocker Glory in Binns. A travesty what has happened to Blackpool.

Well done great and for promoting the roof fund raiser to great job tim

[@paulgalleyblackpool]

Hi Tim, just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking the time to come and visit us at Tramtown. It meant so much to us, you really are a lovely chap and it was a real honour to meet you. Keep being awesome :)

[@WalkWithMeTim]

That's very kind to say .. thanks paul and to John and Bob I had a great time it's so interesting

[@kkrispy2009P]

Very nice place Paul love old trams nice to see them go up Talbot street for the first time

[@WalkWithMeTim]

yes I did see that!

[@tramlad2]

A big thanks Paul i work in the Safety and Facilities Dept at BTS along with Craig we have been involved in assisting your great cause, thank you for all your hard work and dedication to get the depot repaired, along with Bryan Lindop and the vols you guys make such a difference.

[@CheshireCat6639]

I loved this, I've never been on a tram but been to lovely Blackpool many times,my bad! I hope the lotto gives some funding,it would be tragic if Tram town suffered due to lack of funding. Keep up the great work guys🎉

[@guyhorner8165]

Tram Town is a fantastic place to visit. Paul & his colleagues are super friendly. My wife & I were walking past the depot during the afternoon & the guys there saw I was like a kid in a sweet shop !! As a one off they invited us in for a guided tour as we were not staying in Blackpool for long & was unable to book the next scheduled one. If you are in Blackpool & want to indulge yourself in history, go & visit. Sadly walking back to the hotel along the prom, some yobbos thought it funny throwing glass bottles at us, which otherwise spoilt a perfect day !!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Agree Guy

[@insideredgemma]

Absolute salt of the earth these two walking you through it. They're visibly excited to have someone interested in their craftsmanship, 10/10 video Tim!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

agree!

[@begudmaximan953]

Fabulous to see inside the depot and all that goes on to keep these trams on the rails and running for all to enjoy them.

[@Ragnar8504]

According to 1900s reasoning, open trams actually were a Health&Safety feature - people thought the cold and fresh air would keep the drivers alert! Vienna, where I live and drive vintage trams, only started enclosing platforms after a very harsh winter in the 1930s (extended temperaturs in the -20s I think). New cars were built with enclosed platforms from around 1910 onwards but did run with the doors open until the last pre-war cars were withdrawn from service in 1978. The first cars with remote-controlled doors were introduced in 1951. This workshop is nothng short of amazing, including the staff! Apparently there's only a handful of workshops left in Europe certified to replace tram tyres on solid wheels like this and they charge a fortune. Modern trams have rubber buffers between the wheels and tyres and the tyres are just pressed on cold, which is a lot less faff than the old way. From what I've heard it costs 50 grand to have four heat-fitted tyres replaced!

[@Katkoot74]

Having gone to school near Fleetwood, and the tram being an economical way to get into Cleveleys and Blackpool I have such fond memories of journeys to and from school. A true piece of Blackpool history and thanks for bringing awareness to this

[@sunnyjim1355]

13:30 - 15:34 This took me flying back to around 1970. Those seats (almost as hard as the planks underneath), their 'art nouveux' covers, the light-fittings, and the stairs (as if designed to break an ankle if you mistrod while the tram was in motion). 😃 And he's completely right about the front bench being the exciting place to sit! Absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for this vid!

[@leightongoss6147]

Another brilliant vlog. Seen a few done on Tramtown but yours is the most informative. This a fantastic museum and vital in relation to recording the transport history of this Country. It deserves both national and local support.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kimbenson2920]

I love trams! We have trams running here in Melbourne, of course. We also have a tram museum/depot in the suburb of Hawthorn. It is brilliant. Not always open, but I had a lovely time ringing as many bells as I could. Who says we have to grow up! 😉

[@WalkWithMeTim]

exactly!!

[@philipmason3218]

Absolutely fabulous 👌. Our heritage is rapidly being scrapped. Way back when I was a kid one of the highlights was a ride on the tram. I just love our old buses and trams. My best wishes from Liverpool.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it Philip

[@janedenison7284]

Great video Tim. The modern trams may be more comfortable, but they just don't have the character of the vintage ones, always loved travelling on them, it was great to see them again.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Agree Jane

[@Hotraider]

Amen to that, I take riding the old trams over the copy and paste trains. After all they had character, class and unique style that anyone can tell them apart where there from like Glasgow tram, a Liverpool tram or London tram. the things that the new ones don't have.

[@hazelmanship7516]

Wow Tim, this just popped up too. Derek and me just watched and oh the memories flood back, remember the seats being put back when you were going forwards, so lovely to see these old trams. Yes,the Rocket 🚀,we went on that one in October 1981,with Donna age 3 and I was expecting Paul,it was an experience to be sat at an angle, Shame it doesn't run now,but always love seeing the lit up trams on the vlogs. What a fantastic tour round,I'll be sending this to the family to watch. Thank you so much for the memories,those chaps were brilliant with their knowledge,bet you loved it. Great vlog as always,Casper would love to see those for sure. Take care see you soon 😊xxx

[@thebard9786]

Great video, Tim! If you ever get the chance in the summer, then you need to visit Beamish Open Air Museum, near Newcastle. It's like stepping back in time. Cheers! 😊

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Will do 😃

[@MrWindermere123]

My funny memory of those trams in the 1970s was the times when the pantograph (the long rod that tracks the electric overhead cable) came off the cable and the driver or conductor got off to use a long bamboo pole with a hook on the end. He would reconnect the rod to the power supply and set off again. As I recall, this took about 2 minutes. The ride on those trams was quite rough, so I assume that the tracks were in poor shape in the past. You would need to hang on because a sudden bump could knock you off your seat or off your feet. As a boy, that was good fun!

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Wow 😃

[@Ragnar8504]

Trolley poles are somewhat notorious for coming off the wire and they require quite complicated supports for the actual wire because the pickup goes partly around the wire. Other types of pickup, like pantographs, only touch the bottom of the wire, which is why many cities in Europe changed very early. Vienna phased out trolley poles before WWI and replaced them with Siemens lyra-style pickups.

[@angelahughes761]

Wow, this was so interesting. Thanks very much Tim for showing it to us and raising awareness of the work going on there to preserve these lovely heritage vehicles. Angie

[@alicebutler2007]

What a fantastic place. I remember most of these trams when they were in service. No one ever thought anything of standing on the track to get on the rocket. Makes me feel old, good times though 😀

[@arthurmatthews9321]

Love this video. I have probably traveled on every tram in this video at some time over the years. Good to see balloons 700, 715 and 717. The twin cars and the brush cars bring back memories. The one tram there that I would pay good money to ride on again is omo 8 in plum and custard livery.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Oh wow .. amazing

[@scullytawoody4852]

This a very informative blog I remember the illuminated trams. Every year in August my mum and lots of family members would holiday in Blackpool just to see the trams and illuminations, definitely remember the rocket tram, its a real walk back in my childhood holidays. 🙂

I lived in San Francisco for a couple of years and remember one Sunday afternoon walking down Market street and seeing a Blackpool open deck tram with The Pleasure Beach as its destination running past me. It tool me back 40 years when I use to go to Blackpool for my holidays with the family as a child. I'll see if I can find a picture I took with my camera ( film in thise days not digital) and add it here.

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

Fantastic video. Wish I could visit but I'm far from the UK. I'm originally from Coventry where we also used to have trams. The Coventry tram system was bombed out of existence in 1940 during the blitz.

[@marieryan2541]

Hi Tim. Really brought back memories. Trams museum great. I remember the missiippi river boat team and the rocket when I was a kid even the boat and steam train trams. I was wanted to goon the boat or train ones everynigjt drove my parents crazy.My thought was green and white trams were only good for daytime and no lights they werepitchblack. No convincing me they had lights inside.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Lol

[@Alex-cw3rz]

23:52 my uncle helped restore Bolton 66 he was a Wood working specialist hired by the restoration group, at the time the tram was just a hen coop. He rebuilt the upperdeck and made some new seating. There is a plaque on the inside as a dedication. He helped restore other trams as well after that, he must have been given a good review.

[@darrenwilson8042]

Those old green and cream trams are my childhood holidays right there - bliss Right children? Right Charlie !!!!!!!! You have to know old school kids TV for that to make sense

Lol

[@thomascook578]

I absolutely love the heritage trans, my childhood was blackpool...We'd get to our digs, and my parents would send me iff to find the name of our tram stop, then fun time, tram trips every day.

[@AlexandraStarr1974]

Tim you don't half push out some content, which is great for someone like me who does not own or watch TV, who loves nothing more than exploring pretty little English towns and villages! I will tell you a secret now Tim, but keep this between us, but, my favourite English village is Dunster in Somerset! Visited many times now, last time was in 2017 for a few days staying in the village itself in a lovely B&B, right by the old yarn market building, with views of the castle and the sea over at Blue Anchor Bay, the yarn market itself is the perfect place of an evening for some people watching while drinking a nice Black Russian, though the village life is obviously so much quieter than in a town, the village is asleep by 10pm, so for a night owl like me, I found it odd. But what a stunning place Tim, honestly, it is quentissentially English, such a pretty place with a very relaxed vibe. Just, don't tell anyone or they will all head there 😀

[@WalkWithMeTim]

[@SaltimusMaximus]

those old trams were regular transport for me when I grew up, I loved those double deckers they seemed old in the 70's. I remember the conductor walking down the tram flipping the seats ready for the return journey. As kids we did it because you could and the conductor would be annoyed having to go round put them back. In winter you might have been the only person on a tram, will visit the tram sheds this year when not staying at the Norbreck.

Wonderfull video. I stayed in Cleveleys for a bit in the winter of 84/85. Loved the trams and often caught one down to visit Tower Models in Blackpool. (Are they still there) After four months in Europe I came back to find double decker and illuminated trams along with 100,000 tourists. None of which were there in winter. The difference between winter Blackpool and summer Blackpool is crazy.
