Where Do They Still Have Trams In England?

In the past trams were one of the most ubiquitous sights on roads in England in the late 19th and early 20th century and most of the cities like London, Nottingham, Leeds, Liverpool had tram networks as the premier public transport systems.

In the mid of 20th century trams slowly disappeared from the scene from all cities and buses, trains and metros became the most favored means of transport; the number of cars also increased manifold which was one of the main reasons for trams being rendered redundant.

However trams survived in Blackpool and Fleetwood and the Blackpool tram network is one of the oldest in the world serving the city since 1885; the tram accounts for a major part of the public transport system in some parts of the city and is owned by the Blackpool Borough Council.

A unique feature of the Blackpool tram system is its double deck trams one of the few ones still in operation in the world. The electric powered trams are run on electricity from overhead wires transmitted to the trams by way of a pantograph. In recent times trams have been reintroduced in several cities in England most notably at Nottingham.
