I made a recent journey to Blackpool North which involved a change at Manchester Piccadilly and I was under the impression that you won't get to Manchester more than 5 minutes quicker by changing at Preston. But it may be different if you use Blackpool South or Manchester Victoria.
Was it Platform 13 or 14 at Manchester Piccadilly (the ones at the side) that you used? Normally your told to wait in the 'lounge' if your train isn't one of the next two from either platform as those platforms are extremly busy at certain times.
