Getting Around in Blackpool

BLACKPOOL EXPERIENCE - GETTING AROUND In this review I have summarised the main ways of getting to, and around in, Blackpool. Most of my direct experience has been by public transport as I have only recently passed my driving test and have not driven much in Blackpool.

Having Lived here in Blackpool all my life which has so far been 17 years i have found it to be interesting to say the least. Theres just so much to do here in Blackpool that you can't really get bored, although i do some times. I just can't see how people who grow up in Villages aren't bored.

You can also get day passes on the trams but dont know how much they are as didnt get one!!! They also run late in to the night! Which is handy as we went back in the evening to view the lights! They also run regularly, every 10 to 15 minutes, there are also lots of shelters to keep you out of the wind, and the staff on board are ... more
