I would love to see 272-T2 used on the metro line to mark the opening of new extension.

Methinks the hi electric poll thing would not fit under several bridges on route and the black lake tunnel

Would be good to see, but wouldn't fit on the Metro.

Twin cars were always one of my favourite in Blackpool.

That would be nice Pantograph 167 or even Box 40.

Could this thread be moved to General Discussion, would be nice to have somewhere to discuss Blackpool Trams in the future!

why would't it fit, width should be the same as metro or is the height the problem

To me it would be the height, plus maybe the voltage.

Don't know what voltage the Metro operates on?

Blackpool Tramway will close between Central Pier and North Pier from Tuesday 05 May until Saturday 09 May with Trams operating between Starr Gate and Manchester Square and North Pier and Fleetwood.

This is to allow a film to be made centred on Blackpool Tower.

There is also a liklihood of further disruption the following week.
