Love the Trooper, the sort of pub we'll miss when it's gone, bit like that one in Stanley near Wakey.<br /><br />I also think compaqq has made those Blackpool pubs up.

However nearby the Bloomfield Brewhouse and the Velvet Coaster may also be worth doing as possible GBG 2017 entries.compaqqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885180001640155266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-54848613693680810882016-08-05T11:23:11.713+01:002016-08-05T11:23:11.713+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.compaqqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885180001640155266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-44075632698845490862016-08-05T00:47:03.022+01:002016-08-05T00:47:03.022+01:00You are lucky really that you only had 20 minutes ...You are lucky really that you only had 20 minutes on platform 3, rather than an hour as it is for the rest of the day.<br /><br />Walking is the correct move for any potential bus journey anywhere up to 2 miles. From there it is a marginal decision.<br /><br />May I vote that you go all out for Lytham on Saturday lunchtime. Get the tram to Pleasure Beach, walk around the back of the punishment camp to Blackpool Pleasure Beach railway station, board train, pay guard £3.80 (a Duo is also available) go to Lytham. Note that you can break your journey at St. Annes on the return leg but not the outward if Duos are involved.<br /><br />£3.60 Blackpool Plus Bus tickets are valid on the plastic trams south of Thornton Gate. Obtain them in York before you set off. Fares for the proper trams should be paid on the tram.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.com
