Transport
Manchester Airport to Liverpool City Centre
Attendees arriving at Manchester Airport can easily reach Liverpool City Centre by several transport options. One of the most convenient ways is to take a direct train from Manchester Airport to Liverpool Lime Street Station. The train journey typically takes around 45 minutes, with frequent services running throughout the day. Alternatively, visitors can catch a coach or bus, which takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. For those preferring more flexibility, a taxi or private car service is also available, though it’s generally more expensive. Another option is to hire a car, as Manchester and Liverpool are well-connected via the M56 and M62 motorways, providing an easy and scenic route between the two cities.

Liverpool Airport to Liverpool City Centre
Getting from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the city centre is straightforward and convenient, with several transport options available. The most popular choice is the direct bus service, which connects the airport to Liverpool city centre in about 30 minutes.

For those preferring a quicker journey, taxis and private hire vehicles are available outside the airport, providing door-to-door service in roughly 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Alternatively, a combination of bus and train can be used, with a bus to nearby South Parkway station followed by a train into the city centre. For an eco-friendlier option, visitors can also use e-scooters or hire bikes, which are available for rent at the airport, though this may take a bit longer depending on traffic and route.
