The Liverpool Guide Thread

Hi everyone,
Do any of you know which buses go to

  1. Lark Lane
  2. Sefton park

I am thinking of getting a bus from Liverpool One or shall i get the train to Aigburth?

Thanks in advance.

The 86 and 86A buses run directly from Liverpool ONE Bus Station to the Aigburth area. [1, 2, 3]

These buses depart roughly every 10 minutes, and take you near Sefton Park in about 13 to 26 minutes depending on your exact destination in Aigburth. [1, 2]

You can view the full stops and schedule times on the Bus 86 timetables or Bus 86A timetables pages provided by Merseytravel. :+1:

It’s been so long that I don’t even remember which bus I used to take! (Switched to bicycle later.)

If it was me, I’d get the train to St Michaels, although I would be usually getting there from another station anyway.

Thanks guys, you’re the best :heart:

I am thinking of coming early saturday morning 8th August, then rest at the aparthotel. Then, explore that area. Have lunch in Lark Lane and spend some hours at Sefton park. I am meeting up with two friends, one is local. Then, sunday, head over to Anfield for the game.

Watch for the little ducklings around this time at the ponds in Sefton Park.

I just watched a YT video, the video poster mentioned that Anfield also has Walk on the Pitch tour, the itinerary is slightly different from the standard Anfield tour. He said that you can wear football boots and have a feel of the Anfield pitch. Perhaps because there is no concerts at this time, and it is at the end of the season, the visitors will get some hints and tips from some trainers, and you can actually kick the ball toward goals. The cost of the tour is about ÂŁ95, which takes about 1 hour 15 minutes.

He also mentioned that the empty seat where Jota used to occupy, which is between Mamadashvilli and Ekitike. The seat does not have a name on it anymore.

If you go by train, you should absolutely get off at St. Michael’s. Aigburth station is a lot further from Lark Lane.

The winner of this year’s Liverpool Sculpture Prize has been revealed. Skalli, created by artist Patric Rogers, will remain on the plinth at Liverpool Parish Church for 12 months. The artwork is a seated figure, part fish, part human, drawn from a folklore and rooted in its proximity to the Mersey.

Winner Patric Rogers is a Liverpool-born and Wirral-based artist, working across sculpture, film and interdisciplinary forms. His more recent body of work explores how history, folklore and mythology shape belonging, and how these stories persist through people and environments.
