Tram of the Year 2024 Advent Calendars 2024 Happy Birthday to us! Please enjoy the update!
Gareth - 1st December 2024
Blackpool Flexity 017 is caught on camera here as it departs from North Station on 29th September 2024. The tram was in the middle of working a Starr Gate to Fleetwood Ferry service which ran via North Station.
Photos this week come from the Blackpool Tramway as we take a look at the fleet of Flexity2 trams operating the core service. These images were captured at the end of September 2024 and include shots on the North Station extension as well as on the rest of the long-standing tramway.
There are updates this week to the Beamish Tramway (photo links), Blackpool Tramway (photo links), Edinburgh Trams (photo links), Manchester Metrolink (photo links) and West Midlands Metro (photo links) Fleet Lists along with the Manchester Metrolink (photo links) Advert List.
This week we have seen JD Sports extend their advertising on UK tramways with Manchester Metrolink joining South Yorkshire Supertram in having a tram carrying vinyls for the company. We have also had an update from the Black Country line construction works for the West Midlands Metro and there are more photos coming from Edinburgh Trams. In Blackpool comes news of the Blackpool Express which will see the Western Train running from North Station and there has also been an update from the TSO on the restoration of Blackpool 298.
Its back! The British Trams Online Tram of the Year contest for 2024 has been officially launched, with nominations open for the next seven days (closing on Saturday 7th December 2024). We are looking for nominations for: "Tram (Heritage)", "Tram (Modern)", "Tramway/Museum (Heritage)" "Tramway (Modern)" and "Event" of the Year. Find out more details and how to nominate on the dedicated Tram of the Year page.
Once again this year we will be marking the lead-up to Christmas with two Advent Calendars. 48 photos will be added over the next 24 days with images covering both Traditional and Modern trams.
And 1st December also marks our birthday! Having launched on 1st December 2002 (which also happened to be a Sunday) today we reach 22 years of bringing you all the latest news, photos, fleet lists and more from across the tramways of the British Isles. It will be a more low-key birthday celebration month this year but do keep an eye on the News & Features page throughout December for a few more extra photos for you.
