Nice video but a sad sight to see Twinset 1 leave Blackpool. Blackpool Transport should keep a Twinset unless anyone knows any different.

Thanks for Sharing the video!

@stuvids I don't know what is happening with set 2, but It would be nice to think that Blackpool Transport would keep hold of this one.

But then again it's only Blackpool's heritage, so why bother.

Thanks for watching Stuart.

Very good video of a sad event, Blackpool will never be the same again without the twins..lets hope at least one set remains active on a Heritage site

@mark56122 It was great to see this set resurrected in late September 2010, even though it was only for a short period of time.

Thanks for your kind comments.

@srpott40 It was a sad sight to see set 1 separated on Hopton Road and the rain making it an even sadder occasion.

Glad you liked the video.

@FishyCam I believe they are heading for Birkenhead, but there are several rumours suggesting that set 1 will not stay as a complete set.

@theamateurbasher Lets hope twin cars get a lot more use in preservation than they did with Blackpool Transport.

Thanks for watching.

@theamateurbasher i have heard that but recently i heard differently, can not remember which other tramway is involved, but i hope that it is all lies
