Zoo tram leads the pack as wrap sales return ‘in-house’

An eye-catching tram featuring pictures of some of Blackpool Zoo’s most popular inhabitants has proved a huge hit with visitors to the Fylde Coast over the summer.

Now, as the busy autumn season fast approaches, other local attractions and businesses are being urged to take advantage of a fantastic way to raise their profile as tourists flock to Blackpool for the town’s illuminations.

Jamie Swift, Head of Commercial at Blackpool Transport, explained: “The zoo tram wrap has certainly been turning heads on the seafront, and it’s now easier than ever for other organisations to catch the eye of potential visitors and customers with the help of Blackpool Transport.”

Management of tram advertising is now the responsibility our own ‘in-house’ commercial team, which can offer businesses large and small a variety of promotional opportunities to suit most budgets.

“The ‘T-bar’ wrap featuring the zoo, uses the upper panels and centre section of the tram, is one of three styles available, Jamie said. “Others include a full panel wrap, which can be extended to include the cab ends.

“A limited number of discounted options are still available for the remainder of 2025, and several local attractions have already approached us expressing an interest in following in the footsteps, or rather hoof prints, of the zoo.”

Della Belk, Customer Director for Blackpool Zoo, added: “We’re thrilled to have Blackpool Zoo adorn a tram for the first time in many years.

“The booking process was easy with Blackpool Transport, and it has proved the perfect way to showcase the zoo to the tourists and residents along the promenade,” she added.
