You could come and help sort the tram tracks out In Blackpool, Council spending £100m updating the tram system but ordered the wrong size track-work been stopped since November the prom is all dug up and either one way or closed to traffic.

I was talking to a tram driver in the Summer of 2009 & was told all should be done at the end of 2010. When we were there in October 2010 I was suprised to see Fleetwood full of holes, I then asked a driver how long & he recconed all should be done now in 2012. Some original trams are to be kept for a heritage fleet but there was a clause to their use but can't remember what it was lol.

The track up grade should of took 6 mths and been finished for Easter 2011 but after digging almost all 11 miles up they discovered the F k up, and moth balled the job and expect it now to be ready for Easter 2012.

The trams run along the promanade from south shore to fleetwood but until the 1950's they used to have town route too.

There was a fleet of 76 Trams operational, a big chunk of them dating back to 1933/34, The council have bought 16 new Bombadiers (new Fangled Foreign Trams) They will be able to run from the new Depot at Star gate (south shore all the way to fleetwood (11 Miles)
Most of the other older Trams can only operate between Bispam & the pleasure beach due to the wheel base size and type of power conductor they use.
Their are a number of Trams of special intererst like the coronation 304 (1952) which was a project on Channel 4s salvage squad Tv program & had a cream & green repaint.
The standard 143 (1924) has under gone a full restoration and was recently painted red white and teak
The standard 147 (1924) was returned from America after 33 years away
A number of the 700 series ballon trams (double deckers) have been refitted to be able to use the new upgraded tracks.
The 5 illuminated trams have had a recent lottery fund restoration and will be operational during the illuminations and can operate the entire tramway

No. Have no means to be able to do it, plus my ex-business partner needs to sort his side of it & it was he that messed things up.

If you have, I quote: "no means" to settle the debt then my advice is not to undertake any new financial commitments of any nature until this matter is resolved and you are sailing again in clear undisputed waters.

Your'e probably right if I were to be honest.

I would urge you to take the advice offered by Athelstan and others, which is to reduce your outgoings and wake up to the fact that, if you have guaranteed the lease, the Landlord has a right to recover the unpaid rent from you. Personally, I'd advise you to try to sell the current Freelander and clear the existing debt.

Hope everything gets sorted out for you as soon as possible EV.
