Diesel tram on Blackpool's North Pier.
The Blackpool North Pier features a short (diseasel) tramway which links the pier entrance with the theatre at the far end.
Of special note is that the entire journey from pier entrance to theatre is "weather protected" - either inside the tram or via
sheltered platforms and walkways - obviously someone has realised that in inclement weather passengers (OK, in this case theatre patrons)
don't want a soaking. Would that similar thoughtfulness applied to ALL British transport systems! The person (people?) responsible for
this thoughtfulness should be given a peerage, knighthood, or similar - & made a British government Transport Minister(s)!

A wider view of the same as above, with the tram having commenced its journey towards the far end of the pier.
The tram approaches the theatre at the far end of the pier.
The tram at the theatre tram stop. Note the platform canopy, although not clearly visible this forms part of the covered walkway right up to the theatre entrance.
A view of the seafront, including the Blackpool Tower. Also visible is a double deck tram.
