We head to the nearby Squire's Gate railway station to see if there's any trains back towards Preston, but find a long term replacement bus service is in operation at nights. At 00:03 a Northern Trains replacement bus service arrives. Unfortunately, it's heading into Blackpool but we take it anyway up to Blackpool South Railway Station, arriving at 00:11 on Thursday morning.
