The line was operated by the Blackpool Electric Tramway Company until 1892 when its lease expired and Blackpool Corporation took over the line. A further line was added in 1895 from Manchester Square along Lytham Road to South Shore. The tracks were extended to South Pier and a line on Station Road connecting Lytham Road to the Promenade in 1897. Blackpool Conduit 4 is the only surviving conduit tram from the Blackpool system, and is now one of the oldest trams in the world.
