What are the most popular stations in Southampton and Liverpool?

In Southampton, you will usually depart from Central Station, SeaCity Museum or Bitterne Station, while in Liverpool you will be arriving at Lime Street Station, One Bus Station or Penny Lane, but there are many more stops to explore in both locations.

How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Liverpool from Southampton? With 5 connections between 2 Train, Flight and Bus operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Southampton and Liverpool, you can pay as low as £54 with a Flight from EasyJet Airline.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from KLM Cityhopper: you will get to Liverpool in just 3h 45m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities. The main operators connecting Southampton and Liverpool are Eastern Air Lines (2011), South Western Railway and Aurigny Air Services, but be sure to check what they have to offer!
