BUS TRAVEL

Park and Ride By Bus

All city centre car parks are available to park and ride by bus, using the 919 and 929 services.

Supporters wishing to park and ride using the dedicated Bootle Shuttle Bus (Service 939) are advised to use The Strand Multi-Story Car Park at Vermont Way, Bootle, L20 4XZ.

More information on Park and Ride schemes can be found HERE

Shuttle Buses

There will be four commercially operated shuttle bus services on matchdays, outlined below and running from five hours before kick-off and from the end of the match.
NB: Bus operators have reported good pre-match performance, but ongoing challenges with return journeys.
In response, lane adjustments have been implemented, including a revised northbound lane closure from the bus stop north of Paisley Street and a shortened southbound closure after the shuttle bus stops. These changes aim to improve traffic flow and speed up shuttle movements to and from the city centre.

NB: Local car parks at both Liverpool City Centre and Bootle Bus Station provide convenient links to shuttle buses.

Key travel advice

·      Plan your journey in advance - to ensure you can get where you want to go and back home again

·      Walk or cycle if you can – the stadium is within easy walking and cycling distance of Liverpool city centre with plenty of cycle parking available for supporters to use

·      Check before you travel – Sunday timetables can be different to the rest of the week, with some services running less frequently

·      Leave more time for your journeys - services may be busy and you may need to queue so try to allow enough time to catch a later service if you don’t make the one you expect

·      Buy travel tickets in advance – many tickets can be purchased ahead of time or online, speeding up your journey. Saveaway tickets can be used on all services.

·      Be patient – services to and from the stadium may take longer than usual.

·      Be kind to staff - staff will be working hard to keep services running and on hand to provide help and travel advice.
