If you do catch the train pair up with a mate and ask for a Duo ticket to Ansdell. It's £3 each from Blackpool South if you pay on your own. If you get a duo it's £4.50 for both of you. Saves £1.50 towards the first round.
Would also recommend if you like real ale turning right out of the station first and calling at the Fairhaven first which does a much better jar than either the Blossoms or Woodlands IMO.
