help needed - getting to liverpool!

lexislittle

help desperately needed as i've tried everything!

we have got tickets for a football match in liverpool on the 17th october. we live in norwich and are happy to travel up there however we can - train, bus, megabus, airplane! whatever works out cheapest.

i realise we may not be able to do it all in a day, and are happy to stay in liverpool overnight/travel down the night before, but can't find ANY budget accommodation with a spare room on the 17th.

help/advice gratefully appreciated - THANK YOU!

oh, and we will even be happy to stay in nearby cities as long as we can get transport into liverpool!

The lack of accommodation is probably down to the fact that there is a football match there on that day.;)

There was a thread about hotels in Liverpool about a week ago, may be worth searching. My only advice is don't be tempted to use the Formule1 in Liverpool, no matter how desperate you are. Full details on the thread I mentioned.

When staying in the Merseyside area, as we do sometimes, we tend to use out-of-town Travelodges, usually on their cheap deal. Haydock and Eastham are both fine.

You could look at staying on the Wirral.
Near a train station at Hoylake or West Kirby came up on some of the websites .
There are also buses that go throught the tunnel
Also places at Bromborough from the usual sites.
You could always fit a trip to Tranmere Rovers :-)

Haydock does have rooms for your date,and I am sure you could find coach transport into Liverpool from nearby Ashton in makerfield,failing that you can get the train from Bryn or Garswood stations both approx 2 miles(taxi)direct into Liverpool Lime street.

Depending on how many of you are coming google "serviced apartments liverpool" there are lots in the city, you may get sum joy.

thanks all!

in the end the cheapest way of doing it seems to be driving to worksop, staying in the travelodge there and then getting the train to liverpool.

PHEW!
