TRAMALOT - Heritage Trams in North Lancashire (Blackpool)

Blackpool has the oldest first generation public tram system in the world.  It dates back to 1885.  Along with the Tower, the Golden Mile and the illuminations; the iconic Blackpool trams are known the world over. LuneTube was privileged to visit the Rigby Road Depot, which is home to the heritage fleet of Blackpool trams. We met up with Bryan Lindop, Head of Heritage, to find out more about these historic vehicles and how they are being preserved for future generations. Bryan also tells us how trams like the example we filmed at Sunderland Point, came to be in their present locations and considers the question of preservation or practicality, when it comes to restoring heritage.
