It has come to my attention that Fotopic further compress all photos, after they have been uploaded. This practice means that unfortunately the images seen in this gallery will be of a lower quality than the original uploaded photos.
Welcome
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.

NOTE - the photographs on this site may be downloaded for personal use only, ie for use as desktop wallpaper, but they may not be used on other websites or in printed publications, and cannot be reproduced or sold in any other form without prior permission.
