How far will Carlisle's fans travel to Blackpool?
The driving distance for Carlisle fans is 99 miles (159km). Of course, the notoriously confusing roads the Cumbrians have designed to ‘trap’ tourists into the Lake District mean that they will have to suffer some of their own medicine for this trip south.
The car/bus journey, barring any road works or detours (we believe in miracles), should take on average just shy of 2 hours. For those with extra time to spare, there is the train, which should take 2 hours and 43 minutes to get you to Blackpool.
