All Blackpool trams have now been cancelled this evening (Monday, November 13) due to the effects of Storm Debi.

An amber weather warning for rain and wind was in place for the whole of Lancashire from 10am until 6pm as Storm Debi hits the UK and it has caused serious travel disruption across the county.

Initially, Blackpool Transport announced that the storm had meant their tram service was curtailed – with no trams travelling south of North Pier – but now this has been escalated to a full service suspension in Blackpool.
