yarddogs Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Can you get a direct train to tranmere and if so how far is the station from the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It's about a 15 min walk from Rock Ferry station (train leaves from the underground platform at Lime St/Liverpool Central). Think Birkenhead Central's a similar distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC_Ryan Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The closest railway stations are Rock Ferry and Birkenhead Central, both served by Liverpool Lime Street. Both stations are a fair walk from the ground. (15-20 minutes). Philip Jackman provides directions from Rock Ferry station; 'Upon leaving Rock Ferry turn right and walk up Bedford Road for a fair distance until you reach a roundabout. At the roundabout, turn right into Bebington Road and walk along this road until you reach the Sportsman pub. Then turn left into Prenton Road and you will reach the ground and away fans turnstiles on your left.' Whilst Adam Hodson provides directions from Birkenhead Central; 'On exiting the station cross the road, turn right, then at the roundabout turn Left onto Borough Road (A552 towards) Heswall. Go through four sets of traffic lights passing a Shell Garage on the on the left hand side and at the 5th roundabout (signposted B5152 Clatterbridge and Tranmere Rovers FC), Walk straight through onto Borough Road and the Ground is on the right hand side after passing the Prenton Park Pub. It took around 15 Minutes from the station'. Alternatively you can get a bus to the ground from the nearby Conway Bus Station, by making your way through the Grange Shopping Precinct, which is located on the opposite side of the main roundabout outside Birkenhead Central Station. For bus services see below.Tony Combes adds; 'If coming from Liverpool Lime Street, the nearest Merseyrail Underground is Conway Park (New Brighton and West Kirby lines), alighting and ascending to street level. You can then get a bus from Conway Park Bus Station which is within 100 yards on your right. Buses: 41, 42, 71, 72, 403, 413, 423 all take to you the bottom of Singleton Avenue which is the alighting point. The ground is then five minutes walk from here, heading along Borough Road. Alternatively, the 164, 177 and 464 will take you almost adjacent to the ground, alighting at the bus stop opposite Bogan’s Carpets and the Prenton Park pub'. Remember to book through Playershare!

oafc1955 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It's definitely more than 10 minutes even if you're an Olympic walker, there's also a couple of pubs on route so it's more like an hour!! I find Rockferry the nearer of the two and there's a decent pub outside the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 From Rock Ferry just keep the bonfire with a real Guy to your left and the pub with the landlord who shagged Mrs Souness on her honeymoon on the right. Can't miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 BIRKENHEAD CENTRAL IS QUICKER TO GET TO FROM LIME STREET, AN UP HILL WALK ABOUT 25min but all on a main road look out for a few chavs at the station. ROCKY Ferry is stuck on a council estate which ain't to pleasant but closer to the ground but easy to get lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
