Blackpool (Foxhall Square)
Most of the recent UK tram news has been about new lines and systems but in Blackpool a section of track was removed in April 2013. This is Foxhall Square where the emergency connection along Princess St and Blundell St to Rigby Rd left the Promenade. Now that only heritage trams use that depot the back up link is considered unnecessary and track lifting has started. The line of fresh tarmac seen here follows the curve of the lifted tracks but all trace will go when the re-surfacing is complete.
