How long does it take to get from London to blackpool?

Answer 1

This answer depends on how you intend to travel. Driving directions can be obtained from http://maps.Google.com. Below the search bar, click on the "get driving directions" tab and type in "London" for the starting location and "Blackpool" as the destination. Google Maps will automatically figure out the specific locations you are looking for and either correct your search entries or give you a list of choices.

The distance, time and directions will depend on how specific your search parameters are. If you only type in the city (i.e. London), it will give you directions starting at the geographical center of the city. With London, for instance, your driving directions start on Abington St. just south of Bridge St. Be as specific as you can, using complete and accurate physical addresses to get the more accurate directions.

If you will be traveling by another method (train, bus, etc.) you may wish to contact the local travel authorities. A site like Transport for London (www.tfl.gov.uk) can help you find the correct route to your destination.

Sadly not, direct trains ceased several years ago once Virgin took a stronghold - the only options are to get a Virgin Trains service from London Euston; change at either Preston or Manchester Piccadilly; then get a First TransPennine Express train to Blackpool North. If travelling from London it will be quicker and probably cheaper to change at Preston.
