Blackpool trams. The first tram line in Blackpool
opened along the Promenade in 1885, and was the first electric
tramway in the country. Blackpool Corporation took over the system
in 1892, and the system expanded to serve much of the Fylde coast
and towns inland. The line is now the only remaining 'traditional'
tramway in UK. The line is a mix of street running and reserved
track. Along the Promenade trams run next to the road, then after
a short section of street-running the line runs on reserved track
for the interurban section to Fleetwood. www.thetrams.co.uk.
