The Blackpool Tramway now has a fleet of modern low-floor second generation trams that operate its main daily service. However it has retained the best of the iconic original Heritage Tram fleet, with some vehicles that are over 80 years old that have been retained and restored. The Heritage Fleet are available for traditional tours along the famous Blackpool sea front and operate regularly during the summer season, the autumn illuminations and other times during the year. They are also available for hire for special occasions.
