VintageTrams 

Blackpool Transport will be operating a vintage tram service from the Pleasure Beach to North Pier about every 10 minutes. The tram service is subject to availability and Blackpool Transport's conditions of carriage. Normal tram fares apply, including Travelcards. Day tickets can be bought on trams and buses for £6.00 (£5.50 for children). More details on Blackpool Transport's website.

The trams that will feature have not yet been finalised, however below (as a taster) are some of the cars used in previous events.
  Vambac Coronation 304 of 1952. 304 ran until 1970 and has been preserved since 1975. Owned by the Lancastrian Transport Trust its restoration was completed in 2002 as part of Channel 4's Salvage Squad.
Bolton Corporation 66 dates from 1901 and has operated in Blackpool since 1981. It is owned and was restored by the Bolton 66 Tramcar Trust.
Standard 147 ran from 1924 to 1966, operating for much of its life on the Marton route as well as the long lived Promenade line. In 1967 it was exported to America to the Trolleyville Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. It was rarely used due to its height and was repatriated in 2000. Blackpool Transport restored the car and it returned to use in 2002.
Fine weather my bring out one of the classic open boat cars - weather permitting. 12 of these were built in 1934 and five remain in Blackpool today with two in the active fleet. The cars are largely in original condition as they see limited use each year.

Totally Transport is hosted by the Lancastrian Transport Trust (LTT), a Blackpool-based registered charity dedicated to preserving the resort's transport heritage. The LTT is grant funded by Blackpool Borough Council and Blackpool Challenge Partnership.
