    Just looking into booking and I'm not sure why but its change at Preston for blackpool pleasure beach station?

    Anyone know why? Usually it's straight into blackpool north isn't it?

    Whenever I've been on the train its gone straight through to Blackpool from Leeds. Painful journey though, used to take about 3 hours.
