Changes to the timetable will also bring faster journey times with trips from Starr Gate to Fleetwood taking just 70 minutes, rather than the current 75-minute journey time.
This improvement is the result of customer feedback and has been made possible following analysis of current journey times and areas where the tram speed can be increased.
