That was a brilliant video Stephen. I knew you would deliver the best coverage of the future of Tramtown. How lovely of Paul to acknowledge that it was your viewers who helped to raise the money so quickly. A huge well done to you for highlighting the plight of Balloon 710 Stephen. Due to your video and your fantastic viewers this famous tram has been saved and will be restored xx
Thanks Moonage xx

Fantastic…!! top work from top people preserving our past for future generations to experience and enjoy …thanks again
Brilliant, wish all the best for the future of TramTown and the Blackpool trams.
Absolutely wonderful a new modern attraction to help restore old attractions and as the main man said it’s largely been made possible by a walk on the wide side 🏅
As a kid holidaying in Blackpool in the 70's I loved the old green & cream vintage trams & one of the highlights was riding the trams...Great memories...cheers Stephen

Came to Blackpool last year for the lights and was disappointed there were no old trams running while I was there. Use to like going on them especially at night. The atmosphere with the lighting and all that.
Brilliant video keep them coming
Brilliant video Stephen i had a visit last summer and it was great to see all the work they do and see some old classic trams.
excellent Steve 10/10 my home town ! love the old trams it's the smell the noise of them ! When i come to Blackpool to visit relatives i always get a full week ticket go every where back and forth hope all go's well i have donated twice up two now nice to see the weather warming up also
Can’t beat the old trams. Thanks for donating John.
Great to see this video! A memory I have of the trams, was from when I was a youngster. It was around the mid 1970s, and me, my mother and gran were on a tram. The drivers cab slowly started filling with smoke, and eventually we all had to get off when they got the doors open. I've never forgotten that!
Thank you Stephen. I went in there before it was a visitor centre. I filmed so much and got thrown out lol but I didn't care as the future of the heritage trams wasn't secure at that point. Thank goodness they were preserved.
Brilliant video as usual Stephen, me and Carol always look forward to viewing them so good that you are getting the recognition that is so deserved, it will be great to see the future of tramtown and wish them all the best for the future, keep doing the great videos, it would be great to meet you in person sometime.
Thanks David & Carol 🙏
Brilliant video Stephen well done again!
Another fantastic Tram Vlog Stephen, awesome stuff. To all those folks thinking and pondering a Heritage Tram Tour - DO IT!!! - I have done a Coastal Tour to Fleetwood and back, an Illuminations Tour and 2 Fish and Chip Tours. very enjoyable and so interesting to partake in. Well worth the money and so important for these Trams too.
Great idea!
That was fascinating Steven , thank you for that 😊.
Great to see the Alan Bradley tram! 🙂 xx
I remember way back going on the trams in the late 50s early 60s in Blackburn wakes weeks I must have been about 8 or9 I used go for the day with my gran. Brilliant video as usual Steve 😊really interesting. All the best.
I enjoyed my visit for the first time last year.
Great work Steve.
Thank you kindly

Great video Stephen always wonder what it was like at tram world

Great video Stephen 👍
Great video
You should ask them to stop the alan Bradley tram at the strand Hotel when it is refurbished. What a great photo that would be.
They’ll probably get people chucking themselves at it lol.
Good morning Steve

Very good video Stephen. Loved seeing them old trams. I remember looking at the one you did at night with the ghosts.Lol.Happy days.
Thanks Edward 👍
Hi Stephen I was waiting for your video on tram town as I've watched everyone else's aha. I'll be taking a tour on one of the heritage trams soon, looking forward to it as its been a while since I was on a heritage tram. I remember riding on them as a youngster, they weren't exactly comfortable as the new ones are today but I enjoyed travelling on them. I enjoyed this video.
Loved that Stephen I think it's great how they are wanting to kerp the trams going they are Blackpool and the train tram was fab will have to check that out when I'm there again thank you x
Glad you enjoyed it Christine

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always tram town is absolutely incredible I love the old trams you are so lucky to go in the cab of the western train love that tram its amazing everyone that works there are fantastic people salt of the earth have a great evening xx
Great video vlog from Tram Town, what good news of some investment there. Nice to see a good turn out of press and familiar TH-camrs. Only seems like yesterday you were there for the Halloween Special.
I love these live streams every week I look forward to watching the new videos I'm keeping up to date with them every week can't wait for the next new videos
I remember the Trams in Sheffield!! The Ballon Tram looks very familiar? Charlie the Clown Tower Circus.
Fabulous video Stephen and really enjoyed it and glad to see that the old trams are getting the attention they need! hopefully we will be able to do a tour there when we visit in June fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks again Stephen and take care, Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁
Many thanks Pauline!
we love your Scotland videos as well, as we are booked to go to Inverness when we come over in
June so really looking forward to that and it looks so amazing in the highlands where you were, and maybe we can meet up again if you’re free we will be in Blackpool for the first week of June and we can’t come wait to be there again ❤️ take care and hope you had a great time in Scotland 🏴👍
I've seen someone else's video who was also there on the day and I have to say that your coverage was far better! Look forward to seeing your vlogs Stephen they are always very interesting. I hope you are having a lovely time in Scotland 👍😊
Saw you on Adventure me video last night 😀so surprised to find that the National Tram Museum isn't in Blackpool, a town totally associated with trams!
That is easily explained.
The National Tramway Museum (TMS) was formed originally in the late 1950's and so they were basically the first, so they got first call on being able to call themselves that.
Tramtown has only really formed in the last couple of years, so first dibs, got priority.
Plus to be fair, The TMS have a far more varied and eclectic collection, showing the full evolution of the tram, as well as showing examples of trams from many towns and cities and even other countries as well.
I would love Tramtown to be able to take the "National " banner, but it is unlikely that that will be able to happen as Tramtown obviously only really represents one towns tramway evolution, unique and excellent though it is.
@@dancedecker thank you for the explanation, I looked it up & it does look fantastic, reminded me a little of Beamish.
@@tomgirldouble3249 Yes, well it did run there for a couple of years.
And you are most welcome. Glad to be of some assistance.
Cheers
Hello again Stephen
Hope that you enjoyed Scotland
Tram Town will be totally different when the work is finished including gift shop and hopefully you'll do videos throughout the upgrade of Tram Town Blackpool
Thanks Stephen
Just got back from a four day break in Blackpool. Was hoping I would bump
Into you and meet you. Hopefully next time
Next time!
My sister thinks you're fit ❤️
I watched Nodrog's vlog on this
I note it says Burnley Building Society under the Rocket Tram on the photo. As I'm from Burnley and was a Junior Saver, years ago they put to a single I still have the 45 somewhere Building With The Burnley . The record is called Best Dreams. It was free ( thankfully ) The lyrics were written by Salman Rushdie when he worked in advertising.
Will Tram Town be open to the public in August as Ive a tour booked?
A great vlog!
First comment, lol.
🏆
Have you done a video on Super spacious church conversion close to Tower and surrounding area
Steve, can you please explain how trams manage to steer especially at the turnaround at Bispham loop???
They don’t steer! At least not as far as I know. They just follow the tracks, or where points will divert them.
Trams, just like trains, don't need to steer.
A point moves a track if a tram needs to go down a different route. So that is how they turn at Bispham or Pleasure Beach.
Hope this helps.
want to see princess alice reigning supreme on the rails againa gracefully lady
hi we are a family who always come to.blackpool every year been coming for nearly 22 years plus there is usually 30 plus of us all family mour names are graham etherington kyle etherington claire etherington we used to follow Leroy all the time but don't know what happened to him would you go past blenheim mount hotel next craigydon and reflex club what used to be foxhall we always watch youre videos on you tube Blackpool second home
Cool. I have done a few walks around Foxhall & spoke about the Reflex being where the oldest building in Blackpool used to be.
Oh wow, that was amazing. I loved it. It definitely made my day when you got to have a look around the Great Western Tram 🚊 that old dynamo made my day 😍 ❤️ it would be brilliant if they got the rocket tram out again I used to love seeing that when I was a kid 😀
Hope the music on the keyboard is not copyright 😂😂
😂
I was hoping to catch up on the Scotland videos but they are hiding from me. I'm sure you're busy editing 😅
Hi m8 you done the vlog but weres the ghost tram have you been inside it cos i love to go inside it or sleep in it let me know if you want to do this m8 thank you Alan..
thought you were going to do an overnite stay Steven with the paranormal ?
I’ll sleep in there all alone, no problem 👍
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool can't wait ,your viewing figures would go through the roof lol
Sound a bit low to start with x.
Check out 15 minute zones, they are not a good idea
I know.
Why are some of the railcoaches dumped in a Fleetwood scrapyard?
Lack of funds, or maybe interest. Not everything can be saved.
Because an organisation was set up to save some of the spare trams, with at the time, the intention of running a small fleet of heritage trans round the docks, linking the attractions that were already there, or would be created.
Then the docks plan changed and so the project was shelved, but the trams we're left, probably hoping for another change to occur, but it never did.
But most are being saved, like 710 "The Alan Bradley Tram".
Hopefully, they will all eventually get safe futures, but nothing is definite.
Fingers crossed.
Are you still in Scotland
Thanks for the video Leroy so much History with the Trams you don’t see it much now on the new Trams years ago like Canno and Ball were doing a show there you use too see there pictures on the Trams and it was a big thing if you saw your self on a Tram.
It's Stephen not leroy
@@juliec70 You beat me to it Julie xx
@@juliec70 sorry ment to so Leroy ha
@@moonagedaydream4489 Thanks Moonage xx
@@juliec70 Thanks Julie x
Def unesco world heritage
They will achieve the goals
Tours are cheap
Pity its GWR maybe better if it was LNER rather than that awful other line
too peachily-clean dress-up of some preezentayshun here rubs me the wrong way, watching GBers being corporateered like that...oof........
Excellent video as always Stephen. But just a couple of small corrections.
Binns used to be where R.H.O. Hills was on Bank Hey Street, opposite the Tower building.
Admittedly very near to the Hounds Hill Centre, but was never part of it.
The tram you saw had "Binns" written on it, as Beamish bought that Blackpool Balloon tram to represent three very similar trams that Sunderland Corporation bought at the same time as Blackpool's were delivered and so when a spare tram became available after the Blackpool tramway upgrade in 2010, Beamish bought it to very easily "fill a gap" in their museum's tram fleet.
When it was no longer needed, it was donated back to Blackpool Tramtown and is still in it's Sunderland livery.
Every single Sunderland bus or tram had "Shop at Binns" on it. No exceptions.
Hence what you saw.
Hope this helps.
And the illuminated train tramcar, is called either The Western Train, or "Santa Fe".
Great Western was a railway company that served London and the South West of England.
I think that the word "Western" in both titles has confused the issue a bit, hence the overlap error.
But otherwise, excellent as always.
Thanks Roy.
