Tram Power, have suffered a string of setbacks since they first embarked on plans to bring trams back to Preston. Those plans have evolved over the years and the most recent incarnation was denied planning permission in 2015, on some rather nebulous grounds.
You would be forgiven for thinking that Tram Power would have given up - not so. Quietly and at a frustratingly slow pace, progress continues to be made and a renewed application will now be made to the Preston Planning Committee in the coming weeks. If successful, that would give the green light for the proposed short demonstration line to be constructed, on the former Preston-Longridge line between Deepdale Street and Skeffington Road. Work could begin on that before the end of the year.
It is planned that a passenger-carrying service would follow, between Bluebell Way and Deepdale St in 2017.
