| Welcome to my photo gallery blackpooltrams.com. The site presently contains over 1400 photographs, covering all aspects of the current tram fleet and operations.
This is a comprehensive photo record of the current fleet of Blackpool Tramways. All the passenger fleet and most of the livery variations from the beginning of the 2002 summer season onward are covered. The site will be regularly updated, as and when new colour schemes or other items of interest are noted. The companion gallery to this is Blackpool Bus Photos, which contains a selection of photos of the current bus fleet. Most of the photos in this gallery have been taken with either a Canon S30 or S60, Panasonic FZ5 or Kodak P880 digital camera. To see some of my earlier pictures (taken with various 35mm SLRs) dating back to the early 1970s, see Blackpool Tram & Bus Photos. A selection of photos taken at the 2005 Totally Transport event in Blackpool are hosted on my Trampics gallery.
