    Number 5. The 3 would drop you close enough to it also.

    The #5 that services CIT would not pass anywhere near Blackpool shopping centre, apparently there is a #5A that services Blackpool but I don't have any information on this. The #3 will bring you right past the shopping centre though, it goes from the riverside of Merchant's Quay shopping centre and is very reliable.. comes every 10 minutes or so.

    If you're will to walk a little bit you could get the no7 and get off around Dublin Hill or Spring Lane

    thanks missretro, and would the number three stop outside the centre, I often see a bus stop just before the filling station,

    It's the #3 that stops by the filling station. It stops right outside Centra on the way back from Blackpool, but it passes it on the way there too.. I think it stops across the road but not definite on that bit, it shouldn't stop more than a few metres away from it though.

    #3 stops as close as you'll get - about 10 meters from the entrance where Soundstore is. That makes it handy for the other shops in the area (Maplins etc). Just make sure you get the #3 going in the right direction :) It goes from the riverside of Merchants Quay.

    To catch it on the way back you'll need to cross the main road and cut through the petrol station, but it's not far.
