The last day of trams on Dickson Road -6
Dickson Road was the last section of traditional street tramway in Blackpool. The terminus outside Blackpool North Station had been the traditional starting point of the route to Fleetwood – formerly the 'Blackpool and Fleetwood Tramroad' – and the service was operated by single-deck trams, latterly the railcoaches of the immediate pre-war period. Subsequently, as now, the Fleetwood service would run the length of the Promenade from Starr Gate.
A Fleetwood-bound tram waits at the departure stop at North Station. Note the time clock on the stop-pole, used to check that the tram did not depart before the scheduled time.

Quiet on Sunday morning, but I would think it will get much busier during the week.

The last day of trams on Dickson Road -7
Dickson Road was the last section of traditional street tramway in Blackpool. The terminus outside Blackpool North Station had been the traditional starting point of the route to Fleetwood – formerly the 'Blackpool and Fleetwood Tramroad'.
Here, an illuminated 'standard' double-deck tram is seen at North Station on a special tour organised by the Merseyside Tramway Preservation Society to commemorate the closure. The view also shows the porte cochere of the original Blackpool North Station. This part of the station subsequently gave place to a multi-storey car park http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6158221 , with what had been the more remote platforms for excursion trains being converted to become the current station.
