Lytham is a stop on the Kirkham - Blackpool South branch with an hourly service each way. This was actually the second station in the town, opening in 1863 almost twenty years after the first station. For a few years the two stations operated independently but in 1874 a new connecting line was built which allowed the older station to be reduced to goods status only. This history has resulted in the oddity of Station Road not leading to the station.
