‘Soccerbus’ shuttle back on the road as big kick-off looms

FANS travelling to Goodison when the new season kicks off will be able to use the popular Soccerbus.

The bus will shuttle train passengers from Northern Line station, Sandhills, to the ground.

Last season, the bus was “on loan” to Bank Hall and Kirkdale stations while Sandhills was redeveloped.

Buses will link Sandhills to Goodison for all and Everton home Premier League and cup matches.

The service will start proper with Everton’s first Premiership tie against Blackburn on August 16. It will also run for Liverpool’s first home match against Middlesbrough on August 23.

The service runs for two hours before each match, up to 15 minutes before kick- off, and for 50 minutes after full time.

Tickets cost £1 when booked in advance with a train ticket – passengers should ask for a return to Anfield or Goodison Park – or £1.50 single or return from the driver.

The Soccerbus is free for Merseytravel Trio, Solo and Saveaway tickets or English national concessionary travel passes.
