According to the present entry on Wikipedia (which doesn't state the source of its information) there were over 1.7 million passenger entrances and exits in the period 2021/2022. According to the Realtime Trains website there appear to be five platforms in use throughout the day. Given the happy (and therefore boisterous) profile of many visitors to Blackpool, it can't be an easy station to manage. It may not, of itself. excuse abrupt and impatient behaviour from station staff at times, but I suspect they have a lot of abrupt, impatient and worse-for-wear passengers to deal with - and who have to be managed for their own safety.
