You too! Didn't realise we had been four times before. The reason I steered to Preston was hoping the next move would be Blackpool, then I also schemed to put us on the tram. In my case a purely sentimental motive: my wife and I first met at a Fleetwood bus stop and our first public transport journey together was on a Blackpool tram, in 1992.
