Corporate affairs Ownership and structure The Tramway is operated by Blackpool Transport Services Limited (BTS), which was set up in accordance with the provisions of the Transport Act 1985, and operates passenger transport service in the Fylde coast area through its bus and tram operations. BTS is wholly owned by Blackpool Council, which leases the tramway and associated premises to BTS. Business trends Full financial and operational figures are not published for Blackpool Tramways. Blackpool Council, and its operating subsidiary Blackpool Transport Services Limited, both produce annual accounts, but figures for the tram operations are not shown separately. The key available trends in recent years for Blackpool Tramway are (years ending 31 March): Activities in the financial year 2020/21 were severely reduced by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic; the shortfall in fare income was funded by a grant from the UK central government's Department for Transport. Future developments An extension of the tramway along Talbot Road to Blackpool North railway station is under construction. Enabling work began on 6 November 2017, with a temporary terminus following the demolition of a homeware store in September 2020 and testing began on 16 March 2022, with a goal of fully operation in late 2022 or early 2023. A new tram terminal will be provided as part of the project, where an underpass will provide access to the rail network. There have been several proposals for further extensions of the tramway, most notably along the South Fylde Line (to Lytham St Annes) and the Fleetwood Branch Line (to Poulton-le-Fylde).
