    Seeing the coach station brought back memories of wild day trips to blackpool in the nineties. Going to the bier keller and the jaggy thistle and getting back on the coach hammered.

    Someone wants to turn part of the old cinema into self-storage units. Like the town needs more of them!

    As a Hibs fan I really enjoyed this city tour. It was a good day out in sunny Blackpool for my brother and his branch bus. I hope that you didn't feel disrespected that we sent a youth/reserve team down and our European squad were all rested for the midweek game next week.

    Building a complex at the end of Central Drive will do absolutely nothing for the fortunes of that street. Bpl Council is all for Tourists, not Residents, while they maintain the identity of the Town as a tourist destination and not much else.

    They should re-instate the railway as it formed a loop from Blackpool South to Blackpool North via Blackpool Central and use the new build as a station, it will overtake Waterloo (London) and Clapham Junction as the UKs busiest train station. It is because of a geezer named Beeching that the loop was cut!

    Wow there is some Hibs fans there!! It doesn’t surprise me though, Hibernian coming to England for a match doesn’t happen often especially to Blackpool. The same happened last season to didn’t it, was it Celtic? Top video Sir, when is the old Police Station being demolished? …..Smithy

    That's the most depressing thing about seaside towns, when you went there as a child, all shops were open, cafes, gift shops, joke shops, fancy dress shops............ Fast forward to today and for sale signs, boarded up doors, shutters down. Blackpool and Rhyl have changed monumentally in 30 years?
    Now they have fallen in to a state of disrepair and the council rather spend money on other pointless things? Rhyl has had a go ahead for a new pathway to be built on the prom near the sea life center when the coastal defence has been completed???? Spending money for a new pathway when they already have one????
    Money could be used else where 😕😕😕😕

    Where do the coaches (National Express ones, not private hire chartered ones) pick up and drop off passengers in Blackpool nowadays? iirc it used to be the car park next to Coral Island, but does that still exist with all the work going on nowadays?

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION
    What you've told us Is very important Stephen. The road along past the football ground took us right to Coral Island and next to the Bonnie St market. But that now is impossible then? So we need to turn off say at Bloomfield Rd or near Waterloo Rd and make our way into town from there then? Am I correct?

    Closing Blackpool Central was a stupid thing to do. Tory corruption and greed brought about the Beeching axe to Blackpool Central instead of Blackpool North, which was the original recommendation by Doctor Beeching

    Spending all that money for the new development is not helping local people to have decent housing. Yeah, it will hopefully look good, and it will create some jobs, but overall yet again the holidaymakers wants are being put before the needs of the people of Blackpool. Great ride around Stephen, I hope your backside isn't hurting today, it's a while since you've been on a bike 😉 xx

    The little village you showed looked okay.
    IThe UK is becoming car centric like the US. All the multi story car parks. Why not invest in better public transport?
    As far as that image of the redevelopment. Yes it will improve the area but it won't improve the lives of the average punter. It will be all high priced flats and parking lots.
    REgarding the car parks, they need to have a ticketing system so the car park knows when its full.
    Hopefully, Blackpool keeps some of it's heritage. It would be a shame if they knock most of it down.
