Connection between Broughton (Preston) & Poulton le Fylde - Lancs

[nightofjoy]

Hi.

I'm also posting this in the light rail/metro forum.

A friend has recently moved fairly closeby. Neither of us drive so we're trying to figure out the best way to meet somewhere on public transport.

I live in Poulton le Fylde, he's in Broughton, just outside Preston.

The actual distance is hardly anything, but I just can't seem to see a convenient rendezvous point around halfway between the two places.

On the Train line out of Poulton, Kirkham&Wesham looks about halfway, and is listed as taking only 8 mins, but I can't find a similar route from his end, coming out of Broughton. Ideally he wouldn't be going into Preston first, as that seems going off-route.

Any ideas? Bus or train. Poulton end needs to be train really, as the bus starting point for journeys toward Preston is awkward for me.

Thanks.
