Blackpool is known for its particular use of trams for transport, and it is very handy to just jump on one to a particular destination. The kids will love it at night-time when the lights are all lit, but the network is 12 miles long and stretches from Starr Gate right through the neighbouring residence of Cleveleys to Fleetwood. During the Illuminations you can even ride on a range of customised feature trams such as the Space Rocket and wild West Tram which is lit up from top to bottom during the night.
Blackpool's Golden Mile attravts everyone and there are many places and things to choose from such as the arcades, the shops, the rides so why not check out this fantastic place for yourself!!!

This is a picture of the illuminations along the front of Blackpool. When the Illuminations take place there are many colourful types of transport and visitors are able to use them as in pay to get on them to wherever you want to get off etc. I n other words like a bus!
When families/couples visit Blackpool especially during the night time when the lights are on it is as if you have entered a magical world as there is so much to see in front of you, and even the children become excited and want to go on the trams.
