By Road:

From Liverpool City Centre: Use the Queensway Tunnel out of the City Centre (this will be signposted Birkenhead) and once you have paid the toll (£1.30 for Cars) at the Birkenhead end of the tunnel, bear immediately right onto the flyover from where the Stadium is signposted. Continue along Borough Road for around two miles until the Stadium appears on the right. For the Car Park, turn right at the traffic lights (by the Prenton Park Pub) and then first left (by the Mersey Clipper Pub) and this takes you into the Car Park.

From the East and South: Exit the M53 at Junction 4 and take the fourth exit at the roundabout onto the B5151 Mount Road (this is signposted Tranmere Rovers F.C off the roundabout). Continue on this road for around two and a half miles, continuing straight ahead at the double roundabout and the first set of traffic lights. At the second set of traffic lights turn right onto Prenton Road West where the ground is on the right hand side after around 200 yards. For the Car Park, turn right (by the Mersey Clipper Pub) and this takes you into the Car Park.

By Bus:

Birkenhead Bus Station is served by National Express Coach Services. From Birkenhead Bus Station: Catch services 3, 3A, 33B, 41C, 71 or 72 to Singleton Avenue or services 42, 177, 447 and 464 to Prenton Park. From Liverpool (Queen`s Square) Bus Station: Catch services 417, 418, 472 to Singleton Avenue or service 488 to Mount Road.

By Rail:

Prenton Park is some distance away from its nearest railway station but it can be accessed from three different stations on Merseyrail`s Wirral Line which has trains every 15 minutes on Weekdays and Saturdays. The following methods are recommended from each Station:

Rock Ferry – On Foot: The nearest Station to the Stadium is Rock Ferry which is around ten to fifteen minutes walk away. Exit the Station and turn right and begin walking up the hill until you come to a crossroads. Cross straight over and continue in the same direction as before (slightly less uphill at this point) until you come to a roundabout. Again cross straight over at the roundabout, then cross the next crossroads until you reach the traffic lights by the Co-op Late Shop. Take a right at these lights and the ground will be visible at the bottom of the road on the left hand side.

Birkenhead Central and Hamilton Square – Soccerbus: As an alternative to walking from Rock Ferry station, fans can alight instead at either Hamilton Square or Birkenhead Central where a Soccerbus scheme operates on most match-days. Just alight from your train and proceed to outside the station where a frequent Bus service operates to the Stadium from two hours before kick-off until 15 minutes before kick-off. The return buses run for around 50 minutes after the final whistle. Soccerbus is free to all holders of valid Trio, Saveaway or Solo tickets and also Merseytravel free travel passes. For fans not holding these tickets, 50p extra needs to be added to your journey cost when you buy a train ticket.
