Had visitors staying last weekend so took them for a day out to Blackpool.
Last summer we stayed on a campsite at Knott End and went to Fleetwood on the foot ferry.
So last Saturday, as we wanted to visit Fleetwood Market, which is a large traditional market, we parked at Freeport Shopping which is free, and walked across to the market and town centre.
After the market and fish and chip lunch, we caught one of the new trams just outside, they run approx every 15 mins. Each tram has 1 or 2 conductors who you pay, though you can also buy tickets from Paypoint shops, I think these are a bit cheaper.
However, if you have a seniors bus pass, you can travel for free, otherwise there is a Day Saver available for around £4.
The trams terminate at Fleetwood ferry, so if you have travelled on it, you can continue by tram into Blackpool.
The ride to North Pier for the Tower is about 30 mins, part of it is alongside the sea
We were very impressed by the new trams, they feel spacious, and are comfortable. And being able to use a free bus pass is great, not like Manchester's where you can only use a bus pass if you live in the locality.
