Merseytravel under fire for telling fans to ‘get your steps in’
Stagecoach is operating dedicated bus services for the second ABK Beer Rugby League Ashes Test at Everton’s Hill-Dickinson Stadium this weekend.
Everton’s new waterfront home will host the Second Test on Saturday (November 1), after the series began at Wembley Stadium on October 25. The final event will take place at AMT Headingley on November 8.
England will take on Australia in the decisive second game at Hill Dickinson Stadium from 2.00pm, with public transport services expected to be very busy. Liverpool will also take on Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday, and the River of Light will host its final night on the waterfront.
To support fans travelling to watch the Rugby League Ashes series, Stagecoach will operate two dedicated matchday bus services.
The two services - 919 from Liverpool city centre, and 939 from Bootle bus station - will offer a direct connection to Everton’s stadium, operating from three hours before kick-off.
