Bury by train
 

Only ever visited Gigg lane by car, has anyone ever walked from the station?
How long did it take?

Re: Bury by train
 

Do you mean the tram terminus?

Re: Bury by train
 

a comfortable 20 min stroll but why go by train

Re: Bury by train
 

From the interchange it is under a mile, closer than Spotland to the station.

The last bus direct back is 1735 which should give you good enough time.

For the train you would have to get the tram from Manchester so takes a lot longer than the bus and costs more.

Re: Bury by train
 

Quite difficult as there is no railway station in Bury!

Re: Bury by train
 

the metro station is within the bus terminus complex

Re: Bury by train
 

There are steam chuggers on east lancs railway, but last one back to Rawtenstall is about 4-00

Re: Bury by train
 

Well aware of that - I'll be using it on Saturday. But no trains stop there!

Re: Bury by train
 

Like Chewbacca says above: the 484 does Accrington-Bury. Last one back is 5:35 or you can go a bit later by switching bus at Haslingden.

Surely Davo will be travelling from Liverpool?

Re: Bury by train
 

is it a train is it a tram all I know is its not super-man

Re: Bury by train
 

The easiest for me is train to Bolton then bus to Bury but that's from Scotland however by train from Accy that would be the easiest option I'd think and there are later ones than the 484 bus

Re: Bury by train
 

Well/ whatever it is, Davo's going to have to catch it.

Davo, get a train from Lime St to Victoria, change to the Bury tram. As Accybeme says, it's a 20 minute walk to the ground...with one or two excellent hostelries along the way!

Re: Bury by train
 

There is no trains from accy, no line to Bury, No station at Bury.

Re: Bury by train
 

Yes, I know. It's Accy - Blackburn - Bolton then bus to Bury. Not ideal but possibly a better option than Manchester or the Accy Bury bus if the last one is around half five. It costs £8 on the train then whatever for the bus. I can do the plusbus ticket for another £3.70 with mine but there may be restrictions with local tickets.

A long way round but handy for a few pints before and after the game :D
