Blackpool is a popular seaside resort which lies in north-western England on the Fylde Coast of the county of Lancashire. The city was named after a drainage channel which ran over a peat bog into the sea of Blackpool, the water forming a black pool in the waters of the Irish Sea. The town became an independent unitary authority in 1998, and is the most visited tourist destination in England after London.
Blackpool now has a population of more than 153,500, with several ethnic groups comprising of English, Irish, Welsh, Ulster, West Indian, Indian, Pakistani, and other.
Blackpool is linked by the M55 motorway to the national motorway network. Blackpool Airport is situated only 2 miles (4 km) from the town centre, serving regular charter and scheduled flights. Another smaller airport serves commercial flights from the Isle of Man, Belfast and Dublin. The city has 3 main train stations – North, South and Pleasure Beach. A still-surviving popular means of public transport in Blackpool is the tramway. By bus, the area is served by two main bus companies -Arriva North West Buses and Stagecoach, with frequent buses on local routes.
