Blackpool
tramway and pier tramway

Blackpool trams have been known the world over since their opening in 1885. Once the remaining heritage tramway in the UK, the 17.7 km line has several expansion proposals, none of which are expected to come to fruition. Currently, the widely used system runs from Starrgate to Fleetwood and is under major rennovation which includes new low floor trams.

Some of the old trams
may be kicked out with no place to go. Blackpool Transport intimated that they are not in the museum business.  If the offending trams are not removed, the company has threatened to sell them off, perhaps for scrap. Sally Struthers is rumoured to be organizing a Save the Trams commercial, where individuals could adopt the trams by paying a monthly donation. In return, they would receive photos of the tram's rehabilitation progress and letters from the restoration committees.

Blackpool also sports a lesser know
North Pier Tramway
