Bus

OK, so your bus ride might not be exactly like this one!

But, it is still probably your best option.

You will need to leave plenty of time as the buses are always packed on a matchday and traffic is heavy.

From Liverpool City Centre, you can take the special 917 bus that operates on matchdays and takes you directly to the ground.

If you fancy less of a queue, the 26 from Liverpool ONE bus station is sometimes slightly quieter.

You can also take the 17 from Queen’s Square or, depending on where in the city you’re coming from, could link up with the 27, 68, 14 or 19 which all stop within walking distance of Anfield

Getting FROM Anfield

You’ll find a pattern on this guide – getting home can take time, something made less of a pain by a Liverpool win!

There are buses that go from outside the Kop after the match. However, getting on one can sometimes be nigh impossible.

If you do manage to board one, you can wait for a long time as the crowds gradually disperse.

If going to back to town, you could walk 20 minutes to West Derby Road then catch the 12,13,15 or 18 the rest of the way.

Train

Getting TO Anfield

This is where Anfield falls down in comparison to most Premier League grounds.

There is no direct train link to Anfield, so most get off at Sandhills station which is 30 minute walk uphill to the ground. Buses also operate between the two on a matchday.

To reach Sandhills, you can get on at any Northern Line station.

In the city centre, your stations for the Northern Line are Liverpool Central or Moorfields.

This line also runs all the way from Liverpool South Parkway station which runs a shuttle bus service to Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Getting FROM Anfield

The bus back to Sandhills operates after the game too, but it would likely be quicker to walk downhill to the station.

Be aware that we still use paper tickets for the trains and underground on Merseyside, so you won’t be able to use your phone as a ticket.

Taxi

Getting TO Anfield

Liverpool operates a black cab system like in London, so if you see one with its light on, flag it down!

Like in all major cities now, Uber and various similar companies exist.

Local taxi firms such as Alpha, Delta and A1 also provide good options.

You’ll pay similar prices for them all.

Getting FROM Anfield

Getting a taxi from right outside the ground is almost impossible after full time, too.

There are taxi ranks but you’re best bet is to walk away from the stadium, towards town, and try to flag one down.

• Price: About £10 one way

• You’ll likely find lots of people getting taxis up to the match too, so sharing is a way to reduce the cost!
