Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours and The 65th UK Coach Rally Blackpool 7 April 2019
Had a great day in Blackpool on Sunday 7th April. Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours were operating a nice selection of Heritage Trams between Pleasure Beach, North Pier and Cabin.
The 65th UK Coach Rally was also being held over this weekend in Blackpool and what a cracker it was too. All of the coaches were beautifully turned out and were a credit to the companies and Drivers. The high standard of Driving skills also deserves praise. Everyone involved should be very proud of themselves.
Once again I was annoyed at only being able to make it on Sunday and then I managed to lose an SD card with a fair amount of footage on it so Sincere apologies if your Coach is not included in the video.
A great day of Coaches and Trams and good weather, Spoiled only by losing some of my footage.
I have put the Award Presentations on a separate video

Blackpool Easter Weekend 2019
It was a Holiday weekend, The Trams were running along the Promenade and it was glorious weather in Blackpool over the entire weekend. Your right, this is starting to sound like a work of fiction but its true.
After missing quite a few events I was over the moon to be in Blackpool over the Easter Weekend as the Heritage Trams had a great variety of trams in service, and no doubt they brought back a memory or two to a few people.
This video contains footage from all four days of Heritage Tram action. There is also a short segment showing the good Ladies and Gentlemen of the RNLI in action and with a scattering of buses and coaches it will hopefully let you see what was going on in Blackpool if you didn't manage to get there in person.

Welcome to my channel
This channel is mainly dedicated to videos of my hometown, Blackpool, Lancashire, England.
Blackpool is a beautiful seaside town on the north west coast of England.
We have many cool attractions here including our world famous Blackpool Tower, the Pleasure Beach, three piers and a lovely sandy beach..
Blackpool is a relatively poor town that gets (unfairly in my opinion), a lot of bad press..
The aim of my channel is to show Blackpool in a better light..
No town or city is perfect so it's best to appreciate the good parts wherever you live :)
Also videos of areas surrounding Blackpool. going north we have Bispham, Cleveleys, maybe as far as Fleetwood and Knott End. In the other direction, going south we will be visiting St Annes and Lytham.

Blackpool is a seaside resort on the Irish Sea coast of England. It's known for Blackpool Pleasure Beach, an old-school amusement park with vintage wooden roller coasters. Built in 1894, the landmark Blackpool Tower houses a circus, a glass viewing platform and the Tower Ballroom, where dancers twirl to the music of a Wurlitzer organ. Blackpool Illuminations is an annual light show along the Promenade.
Blackpool is a seaside resort and unitary authority area in Lancashire, England, on England's northwest coast. The town is on the Irish Sea, between the Ribble and Wyre estuaries, 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Preston, 27 miles (43 km) north of Liverpool, 28 miles (45 km) northwest of Bolton and 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Manchester.
Blackpool rose to prominence as a major centre of tourism in England when a railway was built in the 1840s connecting it to the industrialised regions of Northern England. The railway made it much easier and cheaper for visitors to reach Blackpool, triggering an influx of settlers, such that in 1876 Blackpool was incorporated as a borough, governed by its own town council and aldermen. In 1881, Blackpool was a booming resort with a population of 14,000 and a promenade complete with piers, fortune-tellers, public houses, trams, donkey rides, fish-and-chip shops and theatres. By 1901 the population of Blackpool was 47,000, by which time its place was cemented as the archetypal British seaside resort. By 1951 it had grown to 147,000.
Shifts in tastes, combined with opportunities for Britons to travel overseas, affected Blackpool's status as a leading resort in the late 20th century. Nevertheless, Blackpool's urban fabric and economy remains relatively undiversified, and firmly rooted in the tourism sector, and the borough's seafront continues to attract millions of visitors every year. In addition to its sandy beaches, Blackpool's major attractions and landmarks include Blackpool Tower, Blackpool Illuminations, the Pleasure Beach, Blackpool Zoo, Sandcastle Water Park, the Winter Gardens, and the UK's only surviving first-generation tramway.
Blackpool International Airport operated regular charter and scheduled flights throughout the UK and Europe. Blackpool Transport operates the main bus services in and around Blackpool. Blackpool once had two railway termini with a total of over 30 platforms, mainly used by excursion traffic in the summer. Blackpool Central, close to Blackpool Tower, was closed in 1964, while Blackpool North was largely demolished and rebuilt as a smaller facility.
