Pleasantly surprised by blackpool north.

I recently used the blackpool north tram stop for the first time, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The new subway was large bright and airy and both ends of it had large clear signs to direct people between the rail station and the tram stop. The walk length did not feel excessive

No, just the wait length that’s excessive

I used to commute every day from Blackpool North in 2017 - 2018 and actually early in the morning at that time they used to leave the doors open and it was very chill. Very different vibe to the weekends etc.

I don't recall an excessive wait on the way out, but that may have just been good luck. On the way back I used a bus because I wasn't especially near the front.

It’s every 4 tph but really it’s 2 trams setting off twice per hour, with one leaving 5 minutes after the previous before a 25 minute wait if I am still correct

The new timetable has 6tph during the daytime, almost evenly spaced, with 3tph towards Fleetwood, and 3tph towards Starr Gate from North Station

The evening frequency is 4tph, less evenly spaced out, and again half go to Fleetwood, half go to Starr Gate
