    Smooth transfer

    I changed trains at Preston on my way between Glasgow and Blackpool, so I cannot speak to getting to or in and out the station, but my transfer was easy. I had booked assistance in advance via the Passenger Assistance app. The staff were lovely. I was met at the train and taken through the subway to the platform for my next train and helped onto it. The underground walkway connects all the platforms and there are lifts for each each of them. They are especially large at platform 1 and 2 where there is no step-free/ramp access to the platforms. The lift buttons have Braille and tactile numbers and there is an additional alarm button at floor level. There is a Changing Places toilet in the station, but I did not have time to look at it, I only saw the signage.

    Staff are helpful, access isn't great

    Whole station is on a hill which makes navigating it in a manual wheelchair exhausting. Toilet was clean but very difficult to locate. Staff are usually around for assistance and have never made me feel like a burden.

    All change for the seaside!

    Although you have to use lifts and a subway to change platforms the station was well laid out and accessible.
