Search Type: Blackpool Transport Tramway Date: Address The Blackpool tramway runs from Blackpool to Fleetwood along the Fylde coast. Dating from 1885 it runs for 11 miles and is the UK’s oldest surviving tramway. There are no tramways in the vicinity of the above property. On the 1st February 2008 the government agreed to fund the total upgrade of the entire length of tramway from Starr Gate to Fleetwood. This will include refurbishment of the track and tram stops, adding 16 new tramcars and building an electrical sub-station in Fleetwood. The work is due to start in 2009 and should finish by 2012. Blackpool’s Regeneration Company is currently applying for funding to pursue the possibility of extending Blackpool’s tramway. This would see the existing route join the South Fylde railway line. This is still however a scheme in the early stages and no decision has yet been made.
