Where to go and stay in November, and how do you get from Blackpool to Liverpool Airport?
by happyhourkid
Hoping someone can tell me where is a decent place to stay and some of the good pubs in Blackpool. I know I'm not going during the best of times weather-wise, but nevertheless I will be there in Early November. I need a place to stay. Doesn't necessarily need to be the Ritz Carlton, but then again I don't want the Bates Motel either. Something decent for a modest price. I'm looking for something near the Empress Ballroom-somewhere within reasonable staggering distance because I will be drinking heavily celebrating the reunion of the Verve, which is why I will be in Blackpool in the first place. Also, I wouldn't mind knowing what the best combination of reliability and economy is for getting from Blackpool to Liverpool Airport, as I have a flight to Latvia the next day. Whoever can help out the best wins an ice cold pint of your choice, personally paid for by me. :)
Thanks,
Happyhourkid

Cheapest will be by coach, but it will take a long time (at least 3+ hrs) because it goes elsewhere. It will pick you up from the airport though. www.nationalexpress.com for times and fares (use the red 'click here to choose from a list of our most popular destinations' link on the 'airports' tab).
Or you can get the train (I would); might be a bit more expensive, but quicker. You'll need to get into Liverpool Station from the airport. Trains take around 1hr 45mins. www.nationalrail.co.uk for times and fares (the timetable for November won't be posted yet, but it will be much the same).
You can get a bus from the airport into Liverpool city centre (services 500, 80A/180 and 82A/82B ). This link has timetables etc: www.merseytravel.gov.uk
Can't help with accommodation, sorry; have never been to Blackpool (except once when was a tiny teen) and have no desire to re-visit!

Getting to Liverpool Airport is a trek, taxi will cost a small fortune. You could get the National Express from Blackpool to Liverpool, this will involve changing at Manchester and then you'd have to make your way from the middle of Liverpool to the airport. A similar situation with the trains, you'd have to change at Preston and then get from Liverpool to the airport.
If you have recently won the lottery, there are air taxis available between Blackpool and Liverpool airports.

There always used to be a train direct from Blackpool to Liverpool Lime Street? Not too far in a taxi from there to the airport.
There are loads of hotels in that area:
www.blackpool-stay.co.uk is a good place to look. Ideally you want a hotel either on Adelaide Street or Albert Road. Very close to the Winter Gardens (and Empress Ballroom) and also within easy staggering distance of the nightlife!!
What dates are you going?

There are still direct trains from Liverpool Lime Street. Some require you to change, but some don't. Use the National Rail link to find out which train times best suit you. Return 'saver' fare at the moment is 13.70, which is surprisingly good but may well be different by November.

Sorry, didn't realise there are still some direct trains, thought the service had long since gone hehe. My apologies for my misinformation.
Travel Tips for Blackpool
North Pier
by sandysmith
The North Pier was the first of Blackpool's 3 piers - opened on 21st May 1863. It is 1,405 feet long, 27 feet wide and built from 12,000 tons of metal it claimed, in its day, to be 'the finest, strongest and most beautiful marine parade in Europe'. It has suffered damage over the years and resultant modifications. and today the pier has several bars, a beer garden, a 1500-seat theatre, and an amusement arcade - all the typical type of seaside pier attractions. Its probably the most traditional of the three piers and retains mor Victorian charm than the others.
