It just managed to see it’s centenary before it was to close in 1964. The Closure of Blackpool Central Railway Station occurred on 1 November 1964, and by order of the Corporation, Stationmaster JW Atkinson finally locked it up that night. The last train left Blackpool Central at 9.55pm and the last arrival was at 11.30pm. Central Engine Sheds had already closed on 30 July 1964. Controversially on 1 November 1964, the decision effectively tore the heart out of Blackpool and was quite probably the worst decision ever made by Blackpool Council. The direct Marton line finally closed in 1965.
