Saturday 5th January 2013 ~ A ride to Poulton

Started off with a ride on Flexity Tram 016, from Starr Gate (departing 13.50) to the Tower.

Flexity Tram 003 passes the Tower with a southbound service

Market Street in the early afternoon. ALX400 no.18158 with the 68 to Preston, while behind is Trident 309 with the Fleetwood-Mereside no.14.


From the Town Centre we took a trip to Poulton aboard Volve 532 on the 2C, this running via Grange Park (The 2C continues on to Knott End, while the 2 terminates at Poulton). After a brief stop in Poulton and some very bad coffee we returned to Blackpool Town Centre on the top deck front seat of Trident 340 on the 2. This running a more rural route via Staining, it being dark by the time we passed through there. Finally it was Volvo 527 on the 7 from Town Centre (Market Street) to the St Annes Road/Highfield Road junction.
