I dread to even think how inadequate the service was during the summer; pre-modernisation whenever we went to Blackpool (and I've been to Blackpool more times than I've had cooked dinners!), if we walked down to the prom and saw a tram coming we wouldn't bother rushing for it as we knew another one would be along shortly, or you'd wait for a particular one if you saw it in the distance. Now, if I see a tram coming, I leg it to the stop as I know I've got at least 15 minutes to wait!
Again, prior to modernisation, there used to be a timetabled Starr Gate to Fleetwood service, a timetabled Starr Gate to Cleveleys service plus a few extras in between. Now, if I was to plan it, I'd have the Starr Gate to Fleetwood services every 15 minutes as per, plus a Pleasure Beach to Cleveleys service as per, and then in addition a couple of heritage trams being used as a reserve between Pleasure Beach and North Pier, the busiest section. It should be almost virtually turn up and go along the Golden Mile at the very least. Optimistic I know, particularly from an operational perspective, but I know what Blackpool is like!
