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 !!

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built with enclosed platforms from around 1910 onwards but did run with the doors open until the last pre-war cars were withdrawn from service in 1978.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!

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!
@WalkWithMeTim2 жыл бұрын

@Ragnar85042 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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 😀

I may be misguided but I have kind of high hopes for the tramway going forward. Great to see Rigby Road still in use... Also these guys are great.

@@WalkWithMeTim Thank you I have booked one on the Saturday on Easter weekend.I think the 710 tram which was use in coronation Street which killed Alan Bradley is stored at Fleetwood unless it has been moved.I saw a video of it being moved 8 years ago on KZbin.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jp21pmCPpa-sgas
