Road directions
Blackpool pleasure beach is well signposted. From New Promenade, turn into Burlington road west, and the station is located on Bond street.
Parking
Double yellow lines are in force around the nearby streets. There is a car park at the station, but this belongs to the pleasure beach, and was always closed when I visited. According to a Blackpool street atlas that I obtained, the next nearest car park is on Bond Street, but this is chargeable. This also about 5-10 minutes walk away.
Public transport
Northern provides a roughly hourly service, Mondays - Saturdays, and a Sunday service during high season and the illuminations. Out with these times, there is no Sunday service. No bus service calls in at the station. The nearest tram stop is Burlington Road. From the stop, you will be able to see the Blue Reef hotel. It is a blue building! Walk up to it, and the station is within your sight from there.
Amenities
Free admission is available to the Pleasure beach itself, and there is a Burger King next to the hotel. Central Blackpool is a short tram ride away.
The line is single track, and is near the end of the line, hence the fixed distant signal. Not all trains stop here, but those which are non stoppers will be going slowly, due to the short inter-station distance. The rides in the pleasure beach will be heard on videos.
