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.

Re: Bury by train
 

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

Re: Bury by train
 

But he doesn't live in Accy! Davo! Come 'ere and tell 'em! ;)

Re: Bury by train
 

thanks for the advice Wynonie.
I priced it up and it is nearly £20!
Think I will drive.

Re: Bury by train
 

After all that!

Never mind, always happy to help a fellow-fan!

Re: Bury by train
 

I take it these prices also apply to the away end?

Ticket Prices

Re: Bury by train
 

It says "All tickets are for any stand" so that makes a Yes to me.;)

Re: Bury by train
 

An option from Accy, especially with a bus pass, is the X41 down the M66 to Prestwich, then a short walk to catch a north-bound 135 which stops on Manchester Road close to Gigg Lane. Traveline at Welcome to Traveline North West will give bus times. Gigg Lane's postcode is BL9 9HR.

As Wynonie says, there are some good pubs on the way to the ground but two good ones in Bury itself are the Trackside on the East Lancs Railway platform at Bolton Street Station, which is on the bus route from Bolton and is accessible from steps at the end of Bank Street (BL9 0DZ), and the Automatic in Market Street (BL9 0BW). Both serve food and real ales from local breweries.

Be aware, if you're taking a car, that these days most of the street parking around Gigg Lane is for residents only.

Re: Bury by train
 

Or get the supporters coach.......... £5 return :-)

Re: Bury by train
 

Is there a coach running to this one Smudgie? No thread by Ash so was gonna go on the 484 - was just bothered we might not get the last bus back, although walk back from the ground to bus station is downhill I suppose :)

Re: Bury by train
 

Yes there is.

Leaves at 12:30........ £5 return.

Re: Bury by train
 

Ok, cheers - I'll give Ash a ring later

Re: Bury by train
 

If you do opt for the bus and miss the last bus back to accy
There is an alternative route home Bury to Rawtenstall service 483 the last bus is 18-33 and then Rawtenstall to accy service 464
