Blackpool Tramway
Opened in 1885 and one of the world's earliest tram lines, running along the seafront from Starr Gate to Fleetwood, with vintage tram sightseeing.
The Blackpool tramway is one of the oldest surviving urban tram systems in Britain. Modern trams run about 18 km along the seafront, from Starr Gate in the south through Pleasure Beach and the Tower all the way to Fleetwood. It's the most convenient way to explore the coast, and a day ticket lets you hop on and off freely. Vintage tram sightseeing runs on summer weekends and during the Illuminations season. The open-top “boat” trams and illuminated trams are popular, and they require a separate ticket.
