Join me for a full exploration of the former site of Blackpool Central Station. This was once the busiest railway railway station in the world.
We begin at the site of Blackpool Central, and head all the way out of Blackpool towards the former track bed on the M55. We also take a look at the former Waterloo Road Station and Lytham Road Station.

Superb series, Darren! I particularly love your 'photo-fades' showing the 'then' and 'now' views (I prefer the 'then's!). I know 'progress' (Blackpool's motto) is inevitable but we have lost some marvellous pieces of infrastructure...

@AdventureMe Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@jonathanhall7334 Год назад

I wouldn't call it Progress I don't think Blackpool has been the same since they Closed Central Station.

@thefabulousstevieg Год назад

@@jonathanhall7334 I have to agree - the Blackpool of my youth has been swept away by development after development over the years - not always to the town's favour!

It would be so handy to have a line directly into the middle of Blackpool.

It was abig mistake getting rid of blackpool central. If only they could just extend it to the football ground I'd be happier.

@dancedecker Год назад

Another absolute triumph Darren, as always of course. I was amazed when I was told that the station had been moved to a residential location about a hundred years ago and that it STILL survived. But it really is the old station as apparently it was felt it was just too recently built and in such good condition, that it would be such a shame to just throw it in a skip, or as it was mostly of wooden construction, just torch it, so there it still proudly stands to this day. Also it's relatively small size and wooden build, meant it wasn't a particularly big or heavy task to move it, even way back then. Just as an aside, the Kirkham line was also called "The Fast Line", for obvious reasons, as it ran directly to Kirkham from Blackpool Central/ South, avoiding all the potential stops or delays from being behind stopping trains at Moss Side, Ansdell and Fairhaven, Lytham, St Anne's etc and even a couple of little halts that are now long gone. The railways wanted to get you to Blackpool as quickly as possible and enjoy your journey, so that was thought to the best way to make that happen. Excellent once again Darren.

Hi Darren, fabulous end to the B/pool central series. I'm godsmacked at the size of the station and platforms from all those Ariel shots and it was foresight(?) that the trackbed was left to become Yeadon Way the arterial road into B/pool central area. Those more modern cine films of trains pulling in, passengers, the fashions of the day all add to the memories of what was. Cheers DougT, oh and give Barney a scratch behind his ears for me.

@countludwigvonnippeltassel Год назад

I've really enjoyed this series. I used to drive buses in to and out of Blackpool and had no clue about Lytham Rd station. The photo fades are fascinating and it's incredible to think that I drove past that site regularly but had no clue what used to be there. Thank you 😁

@AndrewG1989 Год назад

Blackpool does have such incredible history and not just the railways and trams and of course the beach, Blackpool Tower and arcades but how Blackpool became so popular. With lots of people coming all over the country to visit Blackpool and to spend holiday at Blackpool. I still want to go to Blackpool. As always keep up the good work. 👍☺️

@CalliesDiaries Год назад

Brilliant! Thanks so much for all your hard work. My dad who's been visiting Blackpool since he was 3 and is now nearly 87 remembers the train lines and as a child watching the hoards of holiday makers streaming up the roads from various station drop offs! I personally remember the old toilets, it was 2p to use them via the slot on the door! Amazing memories!

@oshiforb7445 Год назад

These videos brought back so many memories to me. Mid 50s to late 60s, I lived on Coronation St. We could see the station from our front door looking down Hull Rd. Central Station was where I used to carry visitors cases to the hotels from the station. Taxi drivers hated us because we were taking their business away from them. When the station closed down, i was still a young tearaway. There was a small building near the signal control box, and we broke the lock on the door and found detonators inside. We used to hang these detonators on a wall and throw stones at them to make them explode. I was led to believe that these detonators were used to put on the tracks so as a train ran over them, they would explode, therefore warning the train driver that they were approaching workmen on the track. Thanks for taking me down memory lane. Loved the videos.👌👌👍

@mrsgenehunt48 Год назад

What a series! I don't know how but I managed not to watch the the first two until this one came on. I wanted to see them all together. Don't you just wish you could step in to the photo fades (as always excellently done) just to feel what it must have been like? I never imagined how big the site was. It was an eye-opener. You make history live, thank you.

@AdventureMe Год назад

Thanks for watching

@Seasidesurfer Год назад

As a boy I lived in Ullswater Road South Shore where we had a family bakery business on Lytham Road. I remember the huge crowds of holidaymakers streaming down Waterloo Road bridge from the station into South Shore and queueing in our shop for their pies and cakes to take to the beach. Also the sounds of the trams on Lytham Road and the trains out from South Shore well into the night being a comfort and watching the big 'iron horses' to and fro' along the railway embankment, over the 'Ferodo bridge' as we played in Watson Road park in the daytime. We then moved to Lytham when I was aged 12, so quiet in terms of bustle and noise it was scary to a young boy used to the noise. Thanks for all your research and hard work, the series has been a great watch.

Absolutely great, thank you. It was like a trip down memory lane watching it. Being of a certain age I remember Blaclpool Central and arriving at it from Preston (my home), which was always the start of an exciting day out. Back then we took it for granted of course, but your videos do so much to teach us more about how it was and point out things we missed noticing. Your time fades are amazing as always as is the archive footage, and you really put a lot of work into these things. Thanks for all you do, and keep up the good work lad.

Tremendously impressed by the precision of your photo-fades - maybe this will inspire others to give us a sense of "then" and "now" in other parts of the country. It's truly remarkable to see modern traffic gliding through the world as it was, really brings the past to life.

@garykirkham2054 Год назад

Hi, Darren, can't thank you enough for this gobsmacking series, lovingly researched and immaculately put together. I came to Blackpool just over 8 years ago and live in the 2007 flats at the end of Osborne Road. Had no idea about Waterloo Road station or Lytham South Shore station, and it has been eye-opening to realise what has been there before and what was knocked down to build the flats. Your work and commitment to keeping the past alive are greatly appreciated.

@anthonyellis987 Год назад

I'm guessing that there's more car parks than railway stations and tracks now. I love the fact they moved the old station instead of demolishing it.

@BdManus Год назад

@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835 Год назад

A great series, Darren. It's interesting to see your drive up Yeadon Way. The shrubbery has grown so much it's hard to realise it was once the railway. At least it was still very obvious when Yeadon Way first opened. The stills of Lytham Road you used were very interesting as all the trams visible in the photos were Lytham St Anne's Blue Trams which were promoted for many years as "Travel on the Blue Tram" .

@ste9071 Год назад

Blackpool has changed so much, I grew up in Blackpool and drove through a couple of years back. I remember thinking to myself, so many childhood, teen memories knocked down, gone forever. Even the prom is different, and Tyldesley Road has practically been demolished on one side, hotels that were owned by old friends of mine, it made me feel quite sad if I'm honest, but times change and new infrastructure has to be built for new generations, doesn't make it any less sad though. Does anyone remember the old football ground and greyhound track? Rigby Road, maybe do a video Darren. I remember it being demolished for the cinema and gym, I'd have been maybe 15 or 16 then. I believe Bonny Street Nick is going also, and I'm sure Montegue Street has already gone, I worked out of both many moons ago.

@ianhalsall-fox Год назад

What a fantastic mini series. The images are so evocative. I think my interest in abandoned railways must have been the twice annual holidays to Blackpool and seeing swathes of land that were once part of this massive railway complex prior to the construction of the largest car park in Britain! I certainly remember the toilets!

@cyberleaderandy1 Год назад

Great video Darren and love this series. Certainly a man after my own heart looking in bushes to find traces of history lurking there. Keep up the good work 😀

@WmDavidHarrison Год назад

Great series again and also the Tram Town vlog. We did Tram Town back in August when staying at Fleetwood and also travelled by train from Blackpool South to Lytham. The lasting impression of much of that part of Blackpool can be summed up in two words "urban decay". I hope that it can revived but it will be a long uphill struggle. I was brought up 15 miles from Blackpool in the 1950s and was a regular visitor with the family for shopping, cinema, pier shows, illuminations, the Tower etc. and the Blackpool of today cannot even be considered as faded glory.

@darrenhorvath5801 Год назад

I lived on Station Road for many years at what was the Blue Danube hotel now called "ParkRoyal" hotel. It's charming to see that in the hallways and landings the hotel still has my mum's chosen carpet in there, so that's 40 years old! But with regards to this video, I always used to wonder as a kid why the road was called Station Road and so it is very charming to see the history and the photo fades. I also see that what was the casino, a rather grand building on the corner was burnt down and surprise surprise replaced with a car park. Wonderful times they were back in the 1980s. And thanks for completing the history! Anyways back to my view of the Solent now 👍🏻

@davidwaddington9414 Год назад

@ffrancrogowski2192 Год назад

Astounding to see that old platform still intact, Darren. A good reminder that there was a main railway line into the town at one time. The past and present scenes that you've produced are totally remarkable, and it's also great to know that the old station building got preserved into a private residence. Many thanks for this video showing, and looking forward to your next production.

@paulharvey9149 Год назад

Fascinating as always, Darren. You can't help wondering why they didn't just rationalise Blackpool Central down to a single island platform and retain it for the Lytham line, can you? Even if it had to be cut back three or four hundred yards - terminating it at Blackpool South feels like a determined effort to render the service permanently vulnerable, off season. For all that I understand why North became the main line route into Blackpool, as most of it would have had to have remained open at that time anyway, for the still-busy freight line to Fleetwood. And the chances are, if the direct line had been retained and the M55 hadn't been built, Blackpool would be a complete ghost town by now. Well done for checking out those bushes, by the way - we believe you!

Your RU-vid video answered all my questions and I found it truly fascinating. Thank you for the time taken to put all this together-an excellent record, what a pity the north and south railways never connected it may have resulted in survival of the complete route to this day.

This week's episode regarding the old Blackpool Central Station and the tracks leading into it was, for me, the most interesting one. Once again your research has unearthed some real historical gems along the line. The Lyrham Road station building being the crowning glory. I'm amazed how the complete building was moved to it's current site in that day and age. Great work superimposing the old photos onto current images. It really does clearly show the changes down the years. It's to be hoped your material could be used by a Blackpool Heritage group to be kept and shown to future generations, demonstrating the evolution of central Blackpool and beyond. Great job Darren - a very professional presentation 👏 What have you got next up your sleeve??
