Best way to get from Old swan to Knowsley Industrial estate
« on: April 23, 2018, 05:11:59 pm »
Me and my partner have just moved to Liverpool and she is due to start work at Matalan DC next week on acorn field road,Knowsley industrial estate. She will be on a rotating shift pattern so 6am to 2pm one week then 2pm to 10pm the next. Does anyone know the best route to get there for these times by bus train or even cycling please.

There is a merseytravel app you can download which gives you journey times and buses to get there , just used the one on my phone and it says two buses the 10A and the 217 ..50 minutes in total .Hopefully when she starts there will be a car share available for her with someone local

When I was 16 I lived in Kirkby and worked at the Iceland in Old Swan, used to cycle there and back on a Friday evening. If I was cycling from the Swan to the Estate in Kirkby, I'd go down East Prescott Road to Page Moss/Woolfall Heath, cut through on Woolfall Heath Avenue, left onto Seth Powell way, over the M57, down Knowsley Lane past Knowsley Village and take Ormskirk Road then cross the East Lancs into Kirkby then into the Estate.

Train is a no go, the only line involves going into the City centre, getting the Northern Line from Central out to Kirkby station then getting to the Estate. Its a long time since I lived in Kirkby, but there wasn't a proper bus that went to the part of the estate where the Matalan is, they all mainly went through Westvale and Southdene.

Catch the 8[which returns as 9] 10/10A/10B Old Swan to Page Moss then 898 or 899, all 898 journeys operate through the Industrial Estate, most 899 journeys operate through the Industrial Estate, only the 09.50, 10.50, 13.50 & 14.50, 899 departures from Page Moss do not operate through the Industrial Estate. https://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travelling-around/timetables/AllTimetables/897%20Huyton%20Industrial%20Estate%20-%20Kirkby%20Admin%20(from%2022%20April%202018).pdf
