Can anyone help please?

If I am arriving at Liverpool airport and need to get to Blackpool which trainstation would I leave from?

I know there are a few in Liverpool and I *think* that the closest to the airport is South parkway. Am I right?

Also , in Blackpool which station is closest to Withnell Road? Would it be the pleasure beach station or Blackpool South?

Is it possible to get one train direct from Liverpool to Blackpool without needing to change trains during the journey?

Thanks.
The loopy one has gone :j

    Yes - Liverpool South Parkway is the nearest station and Blackpool South is the one for Withnell Road

    You can't do the journey without changing - at Liverpool Lime Street and Preston looks easiest. There doesn't appear to be a through ticket that way - you'd need to rebook in Lime Street

    There is another route - via Warrington, but you have to change stations in Warrington which is a real pain
