Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- Liverpool John Lennon Airport (0870 750 8484; www.liverpooljohnlennonairport.co.uk) is about 12km south of the city centre and offers regular services to London and Europe. An express bus operates to Liverpool city centre and the Lime Street railway station.
- Boats
- Gerry and the Pacemakers have a lot to answer for; you can see the city from the ferry across the Mersey, or cruise the Manchester Ship Canal with Mersey Ferries (www.merseyferries.co.uk).
- Trains
- Intercity services run from major towns and cities into Lime Street station; contact National Rail Enquiries (0845 748 4950; www.nationalrail.co.uk) for details of services to Liverpool.
- Automobiles
- By motorway, you’ll approach Liverpool on the M62, M53 or M58; the journey from London via the M6 takes between four and five hours. A car is unnecessary unless you plan to venture beyond the city itself. Liverpool is well connected by bus; the main stations are at Paradise Street and Queen Square.
