Fleetwood Festival Trams & Buses

The 2024 Fleetwood Festival of Transport took place on Sunday 21st July, the event had initially been cancelled in May due to funding problems, but was saved by the formation of a new committee. Sadly the number of older vehicles attending was minimal compared to previous events, but the day was still very popular with the general public. There were very few sales stalls of interest to transport enthusiasts, and the festival now seems to have transformed into a general day out for the public, but in this respect it can be deemed to have been a success thanks to the hard work of the new committee members. Blackpool's tram service terminated at Fisherman's Walk, with all trams running via North Station during the day. A heritage tram service was in operation from Blackpool to Fisherman's Walk, with mini tours running every 30 minutes between Fleetwood and Rossall Beach using Boat 600. Blackpool Transport and Transpora North West buses were using a temporary bus terminus in Station Road opposite the Fisherman's Walk tram stop, due to Bold Street being inaccessible throughout the day.
