Commute by train

From Blackpool North, 1.3km away

  • 63 min Manchester

Train only, station to station, at the weekday morning peak — getting to the station is not included, because we don't know whether you'd walk, drive or take a bus. The distance to the platform is above so you can judge that yourself.
