Days out by train
The Blackpool Tram is synonymous with Blackpool and a ride on a tram is a
must for anyone visiting Blackpool. However the tram system is also an efficient
way of getting around Blackpool, especially during busy summer periods and
the Illuminations. The trams follow a simple line from Fleetwood in the north
through Blackpool to Starr Gate at the southern end of Blackpool. Why not
visit Fleetwood and use the Trams for journeys into Blackpool.
