🚦 At Carnforth station, we’re replacing signals and the cantilever structure that holds them in place.
👀 This will replace filament lights with modern LEDs, providing better visibility for drivers.

Ahead of their return to service for special trips during the Lightpool festival, you may spot two of our heritage trams out and about on the network this week for pre service checks.🚃
They will then be moved to Starr Gate depot in preparation for service.
During these trial runs they are unable to carry passengers but details of how to book a place on one of the Lightpool specials will be announced in due course.
