It usually takes under four hours to get from Blackpool to London with Avanti West Coast.

On this journey, you’ll slice across the rest of England from Lancashire in the west all the way to London in the east. You’ll pass through Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and the Midlands, too, before darting across the rest of England to finally arrive at London Euston Station.

Avanti West Coast primarily operates services on the West Coast Mainline, providing reliable connections between major cities in England, Scotland, and Wales, including Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Liverpool.

Departing from Blackpool North

Blackpool North Station can be found on Talbot Road near the seaside. It isn’t far from Blackpool’s North Pier and Blackpool Tower, making it an easy station to reach from around the surrounding area. Do not confuse Blackpool North Station with Pleasure Beach Station or Blackpool South Station.

It’s possible to reach the station by taxi or local bus services. However, the nearest tram stop is half a mile away from the station, which is worth considering if you’re carrying heavy luggage on your way to London.

Northern, Avanti West Coast, and TransPennine Express all serve this station.
