Public Transport:
🚄The nearest railway station is Meols Cop on the Manchester to Southport line which is a ten minute walk from the ground.
Come out of the station entrance, turn immediately left onto Norwood Road and continue walking along the road until you reach The Thatch and Thistle pub. Haig Avenue is directly opposite on the right hand side.
Southport station is in the Town Centre and is a good 20 minute walk from the ground or you can get bus number 44 from Eastbank Street. The buses depart(stop outside Specsavers) at 37, 57 and 17 minutes past the hour and take about ten minutes to get to Haig Avenue with a £2 fare
If coming up on the train from the South, it can work out quicker, and usually cheaper to come into Liverpool Lime Street and walk over to Liverpool Central station (a five minute walk) and get the train from Liverpool to Southport (40 minute journey).
To walk you are best coming out of the main station entrance, turning left into the pedestrian area, walking up to Eastbank Street, turn left (you will see KFC in front of you) and then keep walking straight for about 1 ½ miles down Eastbank Street, onto Scarisbrick New Road and then Haig Avenue is on the left.
