It's getting a bit late and we were up most of last night so we find a friendly B&B and get up in time for the first Blackpool Tram service at 06:05. We alight at Pleasure Beach at 06:57 on Thursday morning. (I hope the weather is good).

The first tram from Fleetwood in the week is at 6.05am? The 1 is the bus, of which the first service isn't until 7.51am as you correctly state.
