    From the 11 June 2006 Merseyrail opens the multi-million pound eco-friendly Liverpool South Parkway Rail Station. This is a super facility a short distance from Liverpool John Lennon Airport. The airport and station are linked by shuttle buses 80A and 86A with the train running into the city centre. Trains also run from this station to Manchester and Birmingham. South Parkway would also be a good choice if you are planning to stay in the south side of the city as there are a number of stops before it reaches the city centre.

    Please note this is an alternative not a replacement to the airport shuttle bus that links to the airport with Liverpool city centre

    I really like these old taxis which are still seen on the streets. Would have loved to take a ride at once. But I think it's quite expensive! This is waiting in front of Anfield, guess the guest just stopped for some more shopping in the great store here!

    I want a Didi Hamann shirt!

    This is a must for die-hard Beatles fans.
    A two hour tour around Liverpool of the homes, schools and birthplaces of the Fab Four aboard a vintage Magical Mystery tour bus. You will also see Penny lane and Strawberry fields. The prices are not vintage though - it costs about £12 per adult.

    Daily tours at 2.30pm start from the Beatles Story Museum at the Albert Dock complex and end up at the Cavern Club in Matthew Street.

    This hour-long trip begins on the road, taking in Liverpool's historic Waterfront, touring the famous sights of the City and ending with a “SPLASHDOWN” in the Salthouse Dock.All this in a DUCK - an authentic World War II landing vehicle.

    Tickets may be purchased on the day but you may also reserve seats on the day by telephone (0151 708 7799).
    Ticket price for 2003 was just under £10.

    We kept seeing this duckmarine all over Liverpool throughout the day - but by the time my camera was primed for action ...well this was the closest I got!

    Take a ride on the Mersey ferries - the famed music by Gerry and the Pacemakers is tacky but its a great way to see the Liverpool waterfront which has been greatly improved in recent years.

    Indeed a 50 minute river cruise can be taken to enjoy the waterfront views complete with a lively and informative commentary which re-tells the history of Liverpool and its ferries.
    For details of times:

    Also available are themed cruises like rock and salsa nights. For those that are really keen a 6 hour cruise to the Manchester ship Canal, Salford can be taken.

    Liverpool has good rail connections. The main line station at Lime Street has a link to the underground and local Merseyrail service.
    The Liverpool Loop trains call at Lime Street, Central (for the main shops), Moorfieds (more the business area) and James Street (handy for the Docks). It only takes 30 mins from my hometown on the Merseyrail service. A local saver ticket means you can travel on the buses trains and on the ferry during off peak times - ask at the station for details.

    What finer way to travel in Liverpool, but on the infamous Mesey Ferry. The ferry lies its trade on the Mersey, from Liverpool Pier Head to Seacombe, to Woodside and then back to Pier Head. On board you get magnificent views of the Liverpool skyline and in particular the "three Graces"

    Fares
    Adult £1.30 single £2.10 return

    River explorer cruise also available - £4.90

    John Lennon Airport
    by sandysmith
    With Liverpool winning the Capital of Culture 2008 award many new flight paths are opeing up to the new John Lennon Airport - great setting right by the estuary!
    Many european connections are now available with budget airlines (Ryanair, Easyjet and VLM) eg. Dublin, Cologne, Paris, Brussels, Madrid, Barcelona, Antwerp etc.... Before 2008 I'm sure there will be many more too.
    STOP PRESS - Flybe has just announced it will be making a base here too - opeing up destinations to Scotland, Northern Island and Jersey with French destinations on the hoziron too. Plus Ryanair has announced daily flights to Milan from February 2005.

    Oh I do so need more holidays!!

    Not a huge airport but modern and efficient.
    A city express bus service links the airport and the city centre (Lime Street Station) - stopping off at some hotels too. Cost is £2 each way and will take about 20-30 minutes.
