Interesting information on this link, about the history of Accrington railway station, where generations of people caught the chuff-chuff to Blackpool.

"(Met) on one of the piers":confused: Shouldn't that have been "under one of the piers";)

What does it matter which celeb non-entity pulls the switch - the Blackpool Lights are on display for over two months, so the opening night visitors will make up a small proportion of those visiting that seedy town. Anyway - what's it got to do with Accy, other than we have a similar annual thread on which idiot switches on the Christmas Lights?

Hey up, rentagob is spouting off again!
