The Museum will open at 9am for photo opportunities. Rita’s Tearoom will be open at 9:30am for early visitors, other facilities will open at 10am and the first tram will leave at 10:30am.

Blackpool 49, 167, 762 will be on display on the depot fan. Blackpool 166, Fleetwood 2, Balcony 40 and 630 will be in service (subject to availability)



The launch ceremony will take place at Stephenson Place at 11:30am
