do you work for Blackpool tramway or do you just like them??

[dalrigh]

@WHOisHE15 No I do not work for Blackpool Transport.

I have only taken an interest in the tramway in the last couple of years.

Also when finding out what the future changes were for the tramway, decided to record the final years of the traditional tramway.

Thanks for watching.

the crackling sound of the trolly pole on coronation tram sparking all the way, it looks as though the valtage has been increased

[dalrigh]

@gallafey I think the sparking probably got more to do with the lack of trams with trolly poles using this section of track. It more or less produced this sparking all the way down to Pleasure Beach.

Thanks for watching.

I think you went when I went to Blackpool, just last week. If I'm right, are you the one who tried to put something under the tram I seen?

[dalrigh]

@Doctortrek1 Was out last week but didn't put anything under a tram though.

The only thing I have put under a tram was my camcorder at Little Bispham for the first shot and last shot on this video.

@laim22 Had been thinking of doing this opening shot for months then finally got the courage to try it.

Chose Little Bispham as I new it would be slowing down here, less chance of my camera being sucked away.

Thanks once again liam22 for your kind comments.

@AndrewParkerTV Thank you for your comments AndrewParker TV.

As far as I know the new trams will be staying in there new drab livery.

Excellent video, you should do the tourist videos. The brand new trams are very bland, do you know if they will be dressing them like they did with the older trams either in decals or lights?
