Blackpool pleasure beach express is a 21inch gauge figure of 8 circuit around the famous theme park. The railway was opened in 1933, and had two stations, Pleasure Beach Express station and Star Halt , which is now no longer used. The original three loco's are still on the line in 2012 and are named "Mary Louise" and "Carol Jean ", plus the former "Princess Royal" now renamed "Geoffrey Thompson OBE" . At the time of our visit in 2012 , the park now charges a admission fee [£6], but this does include unlimited rides on the railway.
