  • Blackpool North railway station is the terminus of the main Blackpool branch line from Preston, in Lancashire, England. Services from York and Leeds (via Burnley), Liverpool and Manchester terminate here. The station was opened in its present form in 1974, and succeeded a previous station a few hundred yards away on Talbot Road which had first opened in 1846 and had been rebuilt in 1898. The present station is based on the 1938 concrete canopy which covered the entrance to the former excursion platforms of the old station. Blackpool North was on the InterCity network until 2003 when Virgin Trains withdrew HST and Voyager services to London Euston and Birmingham. Former local franchise holder First North Western ran services from Blackpool to London Euston, but these were soon discontinued. The resort's other terminus station, Blackpool South, is situated at the end of the South Fylde branch line, and does not connect to Blackpool North. As Blackpool is a popular tourist resort, with its famous Pleasure Beach and beaches, there are many measures put in to prevent fare evasion, including automated barrier checks as well as the conductors on the train. The station is some distance from the Blackpool tramway.
