Tram approaching Starr Gate

One of Blackpool's fleet of 16 modern trams approaches the southern terminus at Starr Gate. The Blackpool tramway underwent a major rebuilding project that concluded in April 2012; 11 miles of track were replaced and a new depot built for the new trams. They may lack the character of the vintage machines that graced the sea front at Blackpool for so long, but they are undoubtedly more efficient and, of course, comply with disability access regulations. The 'heritage' trams will still be seen operating tours during the summer months.
