ALMOST seven years after it was approved by the Transport Secretary and over five years since it was originally expected to see tram services, the £23.4 million Talbot Road extension of Blackpool’s tramway is finally set to open this month.
Around 600 metres (656 yards) of route has been constructed from a junction with the Promenade line at North Pier to a new double-track terminus outside the Holiday Inn, opposite Blackpool North station.
