Blackpool North shouldn't even be open and it is down to Blackpool Corporation who put immense pressure on BR to close Blacpool Central (because they wanted the land). Beeching had recommended the closure of Blackpool North but Blackpool Corporation weren't having it. Pictures on Wikipedia seem to indicate the layout is fit for purpose so I am assuming the problems are only with the staff operating the station. Perhaps politely worded complaints from affected forum members to Northern Rail and copied to Network Rail might have some eventual effect.
