As part of the ongoing track maintenance on the Blackpool tramway this week, new rail was being delivered for laying on the main line, adjacent to the turning circle at Little Bispham. On the morning of 16th February, new lengths of rail were being delivered and craned off the back of an articulated lorry, before being positioned with the aid of winch equipped hand trolleys.
