October 23, 200619 yr Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the place where i should post this. Anyways, I am planning to go to Liverpool on 25th October and I've been looking at the national express website (bus). I'll be leaving from London but I'm not sure which bus station i should leave from. The site lets me choose from London (Canary Wharf), London Central, and London Golders Green. I'll be staying at a place on 27 South Ealing Road, so which bus station is the nearest? Also, the site doesnt provide a map that tells where the bus stations are, how will i get there? If anyone can give me some answers to these questions, I'll appreciate it greatly! Thanks!
October 23, 200619 yr Best that I can find quickly would be @ 4 and a half hours from Londons Vic Coach Station.. Other routes take you all over the joint. Used to have a gaff in Liverpools Kensington area L6...in another life... So....Journey timing - your route only About your coach Service NX550 Your coach will have the following facilities: Toilet Your journey stops Detailed journey timings for the selected journey. for full service timings showing all stops on each service, including stops before you board and after you leave each service. Stops for service NX550 Departure / arrival Victoria Coach Station, London, Greater London Departs: 13:00 London, Golders Green, LT bus station, Greater London Departs: 13:30 MILTON KEYNES, coachway, M1 motorway junc 14, Buckinghamshire Departs: 14:35 LIVERPOOL, Coach Station, Norton St, Merseyside Arrives: 17:35 End of Journey
October 23, 200619 yr Mate, not sure what the nearest tube to you is, but if you are staying in Ealing I would suggest going to London central which is Victoria, the circle and distrist tubes both go there. Once you get off at Victoria station, just follow the signs for the coach station.
October 23, 200619 yr Author rinrada, I've already looked at the schedule and I'll be taking a night bus (11 smth pm and reach there at 6am). I won't have to change buses either, so that would be okay. anyways..thanks!
October 23, 200619 yr look again bro i think you have a long stop over in birmingham. 7 hours to drive 200 miles i would be hitching it lez
October 23, 200619 yr Author There are 11 stops, but i wont have to get down and change buses. On the website, next to "changes" it says "0" zero!. Pretty long stop overs at many stations, but i cant complain! The train ticket is pretty expensive. (im a student traveling)
October 23, 200619 yr 11 stops = no sleep good luck where about in liverpool are you staying? area not the address.
October 23, 200619 yr Author i think i'll manage since i've been on many night trains. Actually i'll be in liverpool just for the day and will go back to London on that same day (i know...crazy but thats what im doing). Anyways, do you know what time shops open? Where should i go first since i'll get there at 6 in the morning!
October 23, 200619 yr The bus station is in the centre of Liverpool City, the Albert dock is a good place to visit, all sorts of old ships and buildings if you are interested in that sort of thing. There is an amphibious bus that takes tourists for a swim in the docks. The museum and Walker art gallery are interesting and next door to each other. I don’t know what nationality you are but it wont matter in Liverpool, don’t be afraid to ask directions we are a friendly lot in Liverpool and the language is almost English at 6 in the morning not much open so a walk down to the Albert dock and look at the old buildings passing through the Caven street of the Beatles fame, it’s a dump but at least you can say you have bean there.

Keep away from taxies they are very expensive Lez You can buy a daily bus rover ticket I think for about £3 just jump on any bus. Keep away from taxies they are very expensive Lez
October 23, 200619 yr a walk down to the Albert dock and look at the old buildings passing through the Caven street of the Beatles fame, it’s a dump but at least you can say you have bean there.Lez Don't forget the Everyman Theatre Bistro...... good soup .... bad paint job (had more lunches in there than I have had hot lunches )
October 23, 200619 yr The nearest station to 27 South Ealing Road is, not surprisingly, South Ealing. Its on the Piccadilly line, change at Earls Court for the District Line to Victoria. I'll check on my way to work in the morning whether you have to turn left or right when you leave the front door!
October 23, 200619 yr I've seen some strange questions posted on this forum VISAS AND MIGRATION TO OTHER COUNTRIES but this has to be the most off topic i could imagine !! But just shows what agood forum this is that you got all your answers here ... amazing
