If the Liverpool to Blackpool North service is cut back to Preston this could create major problems at Preston. The through service is well used by families especially in the summer and lights seasons. To force everybody off at Preston on to Platforms 1/2 could create a safety problem as these platforms are so narrow.
That's a problem, but not an insurmountable one... Ormskirk services tend to use that island, but could easily use one of the south facing bays on the 'main' island as they do at times. Liverpool terminators could also, though that means more pedestrian congestion on the bridge and subway. Would much work be needed to recommission the former parcels platform? I know it was used for golf shuttles a while back...
