North Station Trackwork Progress

The new trackwork on the old Wilko site, connected to the existing track in the foreground

Subsequent to the demolition of the Wilko store on Talbot Road in Blackpool, new track is being laid to complete the North Station tramway extension. The incomplete line previously finished at the junction of Talbot Road and Dickson Road, near to the entrance to Wilko. The trackwork currently being laid includes a crossover where the now demolished Wilko used to be, before the line curves around to the location of the new terminus, to the west of North Station.
