BLACKPOOL PLEASURE BEACH
Built on the site of the old Burlington Road Halt, this station was opened in August 1987 to serve the famous nearby fun park. The Pleasure Beach is, without doubt, a major tourist attraction which sees millions of people visit the site annually. However, only a small percentage arrive by train, and we feel that with aggressive marketing, and sensible fares this trend could quickly be reversed.
