Tramway from North Pier to Blackpool North station, with a new tram terminal opposite the station. This will recreate the route of an earlier tramway connection to the station along Talbot Road which operated between 1902 and 1936. When complete it will mean that the tramway will almost connect Blackpool's two main railway stations, as is a few minutes walk away from Waterloo Road tram stop. Work on the branch began in 2018, and it was originally meant to be open in April 2019, however completion of the branch required the demolition of a Wilko store which sat at the site of the terminus. Delays in relocating the store however, mean that its demolition was not completed until September 2020. A Second delay came from the COVID pandemic. The first tram ran on the branch in March 2022, and it is expected to be opened for public service in Winter 2023.
