I was planning to get the Southport bus to Preston. Have a midday or early afternoon beer and then take the 61 or 68 bus to Blackpool. I'm flexible on times. If there is still room in the car then a lift from Preston sounds good.

Re the original question about boozers. Good Beer Guide ..…
CHURCHILLS 83-85 Topping St FY1 3AF “an example of that rare thing, a Blackpool town-centre pub with character, it has one room divided into various areas. The venue is lively, sometimes boisterous, and located a short stroll from the Winter Gardens…”
RAMSDEN ARMS 204 Talbot Rd FY1 3AZ “the Rammy is back… quality real ales… superb pub located by the North rail station… good value bar food until 6pm..”
They sound like proper pubs not tourist traps. I’ll be in Churchills. I now need to find somewhere post-gig until first train or bus home.

I'd say Churhills is the nearest reasonable place to the Winter Gardens. I don't go out in Blackpool if I can help it, but it's been okay in the (relatively recent) past when I've gone for gigs or the theatre.

You may see a lonely sad "Billy-no-mates" wearing a North West Biker T-shirt. He sure won't be sad at 12:45 though...
