Merseyrail has issued times for last trains ahead of Bruce Springsteen playing at Anfield. 'The Boss', known for hits including Born in the USA and Dancing In The Dark, is performing alongside the E Street band at the Liverpool FC ground today, Wednesday, June 4 and Saturday, June 7 after three sold-out shows at Manchester's Co-op Live arena.
The excitement for the two Anfield gigs is well underway, and fans have been queueing outside the stadium for days in the hope of ensuring they get the best spot possible to see the Boss do what he does best. Bruce will play to a crowd of thousands in Liverpool and many people will be coming from far and wide to watch the concert.
Many fans will be travelling to and from the concert via train and Merseyrail has issued the times for last trains. The train operator said there will be regular services to Sandhills, which is the nearest station to Anfield.
