Going to the game on Sunday but really don't fancy sitting on the 28 for a hour to get to LSV. I want to get the train, but as far as I know Leigh doesn't have a station. What would be the best way to get there?

And don't say car, I fancy a few scoops!

I get the 28A all the time, only takes about 45 minutes of a Sunday or you can break it up if you want to by buying a day rover and getting the 19 to Culcheth, having couple of drinks there then getting on the 28A. Coming back you need to be pretty handy out of the ground as the last bus is at 5, I usually get off at Culcheth Library, wait a couple of minutes then get the 19 to the Swan.

If there's any other way from Warrington to Leigh I'm yet to discover it!

NB make sure you look at the right timetable as there has been a lot of messing about lately. Ex Warrington is xx07 and ex Leigh is xx00. Imagine I will be on the 1007.

Train to Newton-le-Willows then taxi to the LSV. The 34 bus to Leigh from Newton doesn't run on Sundays. Unfortunately if you don't want to catch the 28 bus there's not really any alternative to get to Leigh by public transport.

Drive down and book a night at the park inn

I might occasionally have a seat or two spare.

Only be about a fiver each in a taxi if you can get a couple of others, that's what we ended up doing for the first World Cup game at the HJ (mainly because we had horrendous hangovers from the day before at Cardiff and a long bus journey would have tipped us over the edge).

Cheers guys, how much is a taxi from Newton-le-Willows roughly?

About £15. You could get a train 2 Pieland then a train to Atherton then 582 bus to Leigh.

On the way back though see Gansons Opticians post.
