Getting to the ground on public transport

By Bus From Liverpool City Centre

Firstly, Prescot is NOT FAR from Liverpool town centre. Some people seem to think it is far out.

For those who don’t know it, it is only a few minutes by bus past Huyton. The latest Merseytravel timetable shows that it takes just 36 minutes from the Queens Square Gyratory bus-stops to Prescot.

Secondly, the buses are VERY frequent – every 10 mins up to 8pm, then every 20 mins after 8pm.

Thirdly, the bus you need from Liverpool to Prescot is either the 10 or 10A – DO NOT get the 10B or 10C or 10 D or 10N buses, as they stop at Huyton and won’t take you to Prescot.

The route is James St, Queen Square >London Road >Kensington > then Prescot Road through Old Swan, then East Prescot Road to Dovecot and Page Moss. Then the Liverpool Road to Derby Street then High Street in Prescot.

Our ground, Valerie Park is the ground we share with Prescot Cables. You get off the bus at The Hope and Anchor pub on the High Street in Prescot. The ground is just 1 minute’s walk from there ( down Hope Street).
