Mr Monkey had been trying to catch a tram from Blackpool to Fleetwood since 2009, but he'd always been foiled by people digging the promenade and the tram tracks up, or by trams not accepting passengers because the drivers were all being trained. This time the drivers were all trained, the tracks were all in place, and Mr Monkey was able to ride one of the new Bombardier Transportation Flexity 2 trams all the way to Fleetwood.
