Lancaster Railway Station is a medium sized train station with five platforms (ok, six platforms,…read morebut platform six has been closed for years). It is handy for services to and through the city of Lancaster. Virgin run trains through here between London and Birmingham to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Transpenine express run a few more to Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as to Preston and Manchester Airport. Northern operate local and regional trains to closer stations including Leeds. It's an old station and originally opened in 1846 but it was remodelled between 1900-1906 which gave it the mock-Elizabethan style it has now. It's quite nice and is bright and airy with indoor waiting rooms. However, there's a distinct lack of businesses on the platforms and it could very much benefit from an extra cafe (it has a Costa) or a pub. There is at least one shop, a small newsagents. The station is easy to get around and is accessible and well signposted. It has a car pack and plenty of space for bikes, including bike racks and lockers. There are no ticket gates here, as of June 2016. There also doesn't seem to be WiFi, but perhaps I just couldn't connect. I suppose if you needed to work your best bet would be in the Costa.

I used the Bureau de Change and they were efficient and friendly as you'd expect. There are always a few holiday offers advertised in the window too. Recent offers I spotted included long stay winter Malta/Costas style holidays, probably popular in a town with its fair share of affluent retired folks who can afford to leave Britain's chilly shores behind for a few weeks in the winter months. All in all a typical local travel agent.

British Waterways at Galgate has a marina with moorings for narrowboats and cruisers on the…read moreLancaster canal. There's a slipway and private parking for berth holders. My experience of the marina is as a user of the sanitary station which is available for boaters on the canal. Facilities include Elsan disposal, toilets, shower, pump out etc. The rubbish disposal facilities are up steps by the side of the sanitary station. The facilities are generally kept reasonably clean and aren't bad as sanitary stations go. There are extensive visitor moorings on the towpath side of the canal with one water point between the long term and visitor moorings. Galgate itself has two pubs, a post office and general stores so people who moor at the marina have everything they need only a short walk away.

Blackpool station. North…read more Quite a small station this one, but plays part to being open planned with a huge roof and plenty of light. There's a good amount of seating for the size and I'm unsure about a cafe but I can't remember there being one (I could be wrong). One thing I didn't like was that the platform doors were locked until the train instructors saw fit to open them meaning you wasn't allowed on the platforms and had to wait in the inside area. All in all, a clean looking but standard station.
