I visit Tramtown at Blackpool Transport's Rigby Road depot to show you all the heritage trams, including the famous illuminated versions such as the Great Western Train tram and HMS Blackpool. Tramtown is the new name for the heritage section of the depot, with future plans to create a state of the art visitor centre to make a much more enjoyable experience for visitors whilst also protecting the precious vintage trams. A whole new roof for the shed will be required before this can happen so a Crowdfunder campaign has been setup to help with this. Money raised via the guided tours will also help towards the project.
