Fans travelling to Anfield for Liverpool versus Arsenal on Saturday August 24 are advised to plan their journey in advance and arrive at the stadium early to avoid delays. Supporters should be aware that there will be disruption to the Merseyrail network on Saturday due to planned strike action. A reduced train service will run across the Merseyrail network: There will be no trains running on the Kirkby, Ellesmere Port or Hunts Cross lines during the strike action. Most services will run between the hours of 7am and 7pm. However, there will be a break in service during the middle of the day. Please check last train times here. Some stations will be closed. The Soccerbus will not be in operation on Saturday as trains will not be stopping at Sandhills station. Fans should instead use the 917 express service (Stagecoach) from Lime Street to and from the Stadium. The 501 and 502 services (Peoplesbus) will also be in operation post-match, departing from Walton Breck Road to Lime Street station. LFC fan support will be on hand to assist should you have any queries. Click here for strike timetables. Fans are also advised that emergency gas works will be undertaken from Friday August 23 until early next week affecting Queens Drive at the junction of East Prescot Road. Fans should take alternative routes in order to avoid road closures and delays. For more information please click here.
Just to build on the mersey rail strike. For anyone travelling by boat on Saturday Merseyrail trains appear to be cancelled during the middle of the day from Chester. Transport for Wales are NOT impacted by this, but expected to be much busier than usual.
We have 2 spots in a 7 seater back to JL @20.15 pick up from Sandon /Garage if anyone stuck. £5 a head.
Very hard to beat watching the Reds win on a sunny day at Anfield. Great amount of IK over yesterday. Cheers @Pfoley for sorting our taxi back to JLA and @liverpool4life & @Dfitzpatrick for doing the banner.
That sun was a killer in the first half, I reckon if it hadn't of gone in for the second half I'd have looked like the love child of Sadio Mane and Jan Molby today
