Travel Plans
 
I'm due an overnight stay in Liverpool (I know :rolleyes: ) in the very near future. Best prices I have is £12.40 return ticket train and £55 in the Travel Lodge .. Inn thingy. Do they sound a good deal or has anyone any cheaper solutions? It has to be Lime Street Station and the accommodation has to be close to the Liverpool University

Sounds like a good deal to me.

There is a bus to Liverpool from Accy, via Southport but it takes ages. The train's much better.

I went to college there, it's a great city.

If you were feeling flush you could have stayed at the Adelphi, just across the road, for £81.00. It's really grand, but friendly. You could call them and ask if they have any special deals for when you are going.

Cheers Rindy Roo.

I have family living there, my auntie is in Waterloo and my Gran has just moved close by to her but I don't want to impose. Liverpool University, Travel In and Lime Street are all close by to each other aren't they?

Yeah, very close by. The uni is just up the hill, and the Travel Lodge is across from the station.

try the uni itself as they sometimes let out halls and can be a lot cheaper than hotels and they usually include breakfast but shop around usually travellodge/inn usually one of the most expensive

Ta, just had a look £95when I need a stop oer. It's only one night so I'd go for the nearest cheapest option

There is also the YMCA and the women's one, on the hill from the station to the uni.

Being a sinner they might not let you in though.:D

Sorry, but I've never been to Liverpool. Is there only one University? it's the Liverpool University Guild I'm going to.

I didn't think £55 was top bad for a double room

Eleven years out of date, but the tel. number's there.

The YWCA on Rodney St, is very handy for where you are going.

Yeah, there are two universities, and loads of different buildings. They are all close by to each other. If you get a black cab to where you are going, it's only 1/2 mile from the hotel/station, and they'll take you straight to the door.

Re: Travel Plans
 
The YWCA is nice, just an old Georgian townhouse.

I wouldn't recommend the YMCA. I had to stay there for a week when I first arrived. Ok if you are into care in the community types trying to get into your room at night!
