Liverpool - cheapest transport from John Lennon Airport to City Centre

squidzin

Can anyone tell me what's the cheapest way for a day return journey from John Lennon Airport to Liverpool City Centre?

Also, how much would a taxi (not an airport taxi) be each way? Just to see if it is much more expensive.

Thanks

If you are travelling after 09.30 on a weekday or anytime on a weekend you can use the Merseytravel Saveaway ticket for all train and bus travel. The cost is £3.20 - £4.30 depending on what areas you want to cover.

If you look here it has details of getting to and from Liverpool John Lennon to the City Centre.

Depending on what time u arrive, you can get the 48a bus...

Cost about £1.60 I think (Aint been on a bus for ages) and it goes past my house!

Or the airport bus at night... think its about £4

You will only really be able to get an airport taxi (if thats what you call it, as they charge about £1 extra on top of the fare as they have to pay to pick up from airport) and it will probably cost you around £20.

To be honest, as soon as you come out of the airport there are loads of bus stops, within the airport itself.

Just have a look at the signs on them or ask someone... we are all really friendly... and see what time the bus to city centre is...

I think the 48a is every 1/2 hour.

Bus would be much cheaper, as highway star said, private hire would be about £12 and black cab around £17-20.
There is also the option of getting a bus to Liverpool South Parkway from the airport which would take a few minutes then getting on a local train which would be a few quid for a return.
I would go with a bus though because you get to see much more of the city.
