The first section to open (1869) was from the Central Pier to the Battery Hotel. In 1888 the line was extended from the hotel to Strawberry Gardens in Heysham, and in 1895 an extension was built from the pier to East View. These lines were built and owned by the Morecambe Tramways Company Limited. Finally in 1897 an extension was built to Bare by Morecambe Corporation and leased to the Tramways company. In 1909 Morecambe Corporation purchased the section between Battery and Bare, leaving the Tramway Company to operate the 1.25 mile Battery to Strawberry Gardens section. This section was relaid and operated using petrol mechanical trams from 1912 to 24 October 1924.

The network was linear, of length 3.59 miles, with a depot on the Heysham Road at SD 4200 6325 between Stanley Road and Cumberland View Road.
