    BLACKPOOL EXPERIENCE - GETTING AROUND In this review I have summarised the main ways of getting to, and around in, Blackpool. Most of my direct experience has been by public transport as I have only recently passed my driving test and have not driven much in Blackpool. I have, however, seen my parents driving around and parking. CAR Blackpool is easily reached by car having it’s own direct link to the national motorway network at the M6 along the M55. Once in Blackpool driving around varies depending on the time of year. During the Summer Holidays the numerous car parks can get full and during ... more

    Having Lived here in Blackpool all my life which has so far been 17 years i have found it to be interesting to say the least. Theres just so much to do here in Blackpool that you can't really get bored, although i do some times. I just can't see how people who grow up in Villages aren't bored. Whats to Do: - The Cinema - Well we have the Odean Cinema which i guess you all probably know as it is nationwide. We used to have the ABC cinema but not anymore. The Odean Cinema is located in South Shore and is Fairly big, i don't usually find myself without a Car park. I advise that if you do go to ... more

    It seems to be my week for writing about Blackpool. Today I've chosen to write in the getting around section of Blackpool. Well... in Blackpool there are many ways of getting around. Firstly you may try the bus. Buses in Blackpool run quite regularly and are fairly good value for money. Buses run by number here in Blackpool, there is the number 2 that runs from St Annes to Poulton via the Town Centre. To give you a rough idea of the price a trip from the Hospital to Town would cost you roughly about £1. In Blackpool there are several different types of buses from small mini buses to big double ... more

    Using the trams is a great way to get round Blackpool, we stayed in St Annes, a 5 minute drive the the tram terminus (right by Pontins) £1.50 for 12 hours parking (in London you would be lucky to pay that for 1 hour) and an average of £1.20 per trip on the trams!!! You can also get day passes on the trams but dont know how much they are as didnt get one!!! They also run late in to the night! Which is handy as we went back in the evening to view the lights! They also run regularly, every 10 to 15 minutes, there are also lots of shelters to keep you out of the wind, and the staff on board are ... more
