Blackpool North railway station is the terminus of the Blackpool branch line from Preston. Services from East Lancashire, Liverpool and Manchester terminate here.
The station is a large 1960s concrete block, with many redundant and barely used platforms. As Blackpool is a popular tourist resort, with its famous Pleasure Beach and beaches, the security to ensure all passengers pay is quite high: no passengers are allowed to board trains without being checked by guards. The station is detached from the Blackpool tramway.
Former franchise holder First North Western ran services from Blackpool to London Euston, but these were soon discontinued. The resort's sister station, Blackpool South is further down the Golden Mile.
