[edit] Rolling stock?
Perhaps a local could expand the article to tell us aobut the age, manufacturer and details of the rolling stock? -- Geo Swan 04:27, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- This is something that will be addressed in the New WikiProject UK Trams - why don't you sign up? Bluegoblin7 08:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- The original query is dated 2005... Blackpool_tramway#Rolling_stock Has since been added with sufficient information and photos a year ago. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 10:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- I know this, but I still think it needs expanding futher. Also, some of the trams are also used at the NTM, and the article should reflect this. There are also ex-trams that have been missed off. And Captain Scarlet - please STOP CRITICISING EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PROJECT!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluegoblin7 (talk • contribs) 11:08, August 20, 2007 (UTC).
- I don't remember neither shouting nor criticising the project. If you have information valuable to the artricle, you're encouraged to add it to the article. Not all trams are featured on Blackpool_tramway#Rolling_stock but then again this is a long process that involves research and time. Your reply had little to do with the original query which, due to the date it was posted, is absolutely off topic and synonymous with advertising. Instead of shouting (symbolised by the use of capital letters) maybe you could work towards fulfilling the original query, something I began doing? I did not answer with intent to undermine your project but to answer the question that was originally asked; don't take it personally. Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 12:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Bradley
No mention of Bradley being killed by a Blackpool tram in Coronation Street? That will never do! - Dudesleeper 12:52, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

- Alan Bradley. - Dudesleeper 14:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Section Info right or wrong
some info about the balloon cars appears to be wrong according to another website, since this articles info is not referenced I shall correct it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.108.223 (talk) 22:17, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- As you haven't as yet amended it, just wondering what website you are referring to when you say "another website"?♦Tangerines♦·Talk 23:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Various...
Hello all,
A few things:
- Does anyone have any objections to me re-organising the page sections a bit, and also splitting the Balloon and Millenium sections, as technically they are different trams.
- Does anyone mind me including a section such as Past Tramcars, which would include things such as the Standards, Pantos, Toastracks, OMOs etc? This would also see a split to Current Stock, Future Stock (the LRVs), Heritage Stock (Bolton 66 etc) and Illuminations Stock, or similar.
Finally, not related to the article, does anyone know if the tramway will be open for the next 2 and a half weeks-ish? I heard it was going to reclose after the easter period, but I gather that the works, especially as far as Cabin, have been completed and checked ahead of schedule.I have an answer to this!

- Further to the above, i'll start it at User:Bluegoblin7/Sandbox3 until theres some input here! If i don't get any i'll presume it's ok to go ahead! Also, i'm going to do a bit of expansion and re-organisation of the page, as I reckon it could be a GA/A and potentially an FA!
- Finally, in addition to the Heritage Tramcars, does anyone object to Bolton 66, Sheffield 513, the Rocket, the Frigate etc each having their own sub-section?
- Thanks,
