Blackpool Tram Loop Mileage

Crossforth · 16 Oct 2017

Hey Guys

I'm after some more milage/KM again. I'm after the distance from Little Bispham to Little Bispham via the loop.

I'm also after the distances from Pleasure Beach tram stop to the heriatge tram stop on the loop both ways round (if that makes sense).

Cheers

Look at the Blackpool diagram (first item) here: http://www.railwaycodes.org.uk/track/diagrams0.shtm. All the way round the loop is 0.33km

Old thread, I know. But out of curiosity, is the Bispham loop navigable by the new stuff, or only the heritage fleet? And does anything at all still use it?

The Flexity's can use it. I've seen pics on the web of Flexity's there.

The Flexities are able to use all aspects of the new tramway bar the junction with Lytham Road; prior to its removal they were also unable to use the Princess Street junction (though in latter years, nothing could!).

They have used Little Bispham loop albeit not as part of the timetable; extras tend to turn on the centre track at Bispham.

The Flexites use Little Bispham turning circle every day during the illuminations, A mere 7 an hours use it during the peak evening service and have done for three years.
