PC World Garston, Liverpool

Anyone familiar with this branch of PC World? My son has some promo work there on Sunday (is a student in Liverpool) and he is trying to find a route by public transport but he doesnt know the area as he is living in the city centre.

Any locals familiar with how the best way to get there.....

Would be very grateful ...

Thanks
Lushkat

    Hiya

    There will be quite a few different buses he will be able to get. His best bet will be to use this tool

    That way he will be able to work out his times as well

  • It's near Liverpool South Parkway train station, trains go from both Lime Street and Central to LSP.

    Thanks for this - we dont know the area at all - is it fairly visible (they usually are!) as there seems to be a number of buses/train but all require a little walk at the other end? Will he spot it???

    Many Thanks for this - very useful website to store in my favourites
  • hi lushcat :) ...

    It depends upon what area of the city centre your son lives... but the no82 is generally the main bus for that route. The journey can be rather cramped during peak hours so id suggest getting the train from the city centre to the new southpark railway .. then its a few minutes walk to pc world.. in fact u can actually see pc world from the station.

    what subject is your son doing at liverpool?

    He lives near Hope Street at Lennon Studios. He is studying Arts, Theatre and Music Management at LIPA.

    He is going to be working demonstrating Windows Vista at PC World on weekends. No freebies for me though :(
