tommyb Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Hey lads, I'm not a huge football fan but my 9 year old son is a big Everton fan so I'm bringing him to the game on Wednesday coming over from Dublin. I was just wondering if we would make a train after the game for 22.56 at Bidston as we are getting it to Holyhead. if we got a taxi outside the ground right after the game, where is the best place to flag a taxi after a game? Google maps says Bidston is only 15mins away in a taxi. thanks Tommy Edited February 9, 2010 by tommyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Not ever needed a taxi after a game but I'd be nervous about making that personally. I'd certainly have one pre-booked and not rely on finding one in the street. Enjoy it anyway, sure your son will....and maybe you'll see the light yourself .

I'm not sure if Merseyrail goes to and from Sandhills, but i know you can get a train from Central station to West Kirby and Bidston on the Wirral, But it will take you longer than 15 minutes. Wont it just be the reverse of how you get there.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that you get out of the ground around 10pm, with the crowd that follows, i think you would be ok for the 22:56 train, but you would be best walking to the end of Walton lane (if i remember the roads correctly - the one down the back of the Park End) then get your taxi, so that there arent too many people in the way. From there, 20-30 mins max (barring anything crazy happening!). Best of luck mate, from an envious Blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyb Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Cheers lads, We could also get the train from Kirkdale at 22.12 but thats cutting it very fine is it? Then we could change at Moorfields and it would bring us to Bidston for 22.50. Which would be the better option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 honestly, i havent been home when theres been a match on in several years, so ive no idea what the roads/trains are like at the moment. maybe best getting a taxi to James St then getting the train from there, think theyre every 30 mins though... Im going to leave it to the regulars to help ya, im just a little bored and throwing ideas out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
