We then walk to the ferry terminal and get the 10:50 Wyre Council Fleetwood to Knott End Ferry service to Fleetwood Ferry Terminal, arriving at 10:55 Thursday morning.

Times as listed as approximate at http://www.wyre.gov.uk/info/200333/fleetwood_ferry/130/knott_end_to_fleetwood_ferry and using the fact that it says five minutes later to guess the return time.

I think that you meant to say that as the last journey took you to Knott End on Sea, not Fleetwood, you took the ferry from Knott End to the Fleetwood ferry terminal

Based upon that assumption, we disembark from the ferry and take the two minutes walk to the Fleetwood Ferry tram stop and board the 1115 Blackpool Tramway service to the southern terminus at Starr Gate tram stop that arrives there at 1210 on Thursday afternoon.

Having been asked to provide an adjudication on this post:

Usually a move like this wouldn't be permitted due to it being a variation for engineering works but it appears that a new timetable has been produced for this line leading on from the old one due to the extended duration of the works (https://be803fe5c416e39d38ae-aa2108.../Blackpool-Manchester-TT-27-FINAL-REVISED.pdf). As such, this move is declared valid.

I took the view as it was listed on RTT as a WTT service (and is in the 'red section' on The Next Station Is...!) it was valid. Thanks for providing the clarification on this issue though!
