00:00There will be no public parking available at Anfield Stadium for the
00:05Taylor Swift Eras tour. Anfield is a highly residential area therefore
00:09parking enforcement will be in operation on concert days. Luckily travelling by
00:15bus is fast, frequent and convenient with express services that will get you to
00:21and from Anfield and Liverpool City Centre in around 15 minutes and that's
00:26exactly what I'm going to do today. At Liverpool 1 bus station if you had to
00:31stand 4 you can get the number 26 Arriva bus service or at Queen Square bus
00:36station go to stand 5 and hop on the stagecoach number 14. I just think
00:41getting the bus is a great way to see the city too. You can see some fabulous
00:46sights on the way to Anfield. Look how happy I am there to get the top deck of
00:50the bus to myself. I'm sure it won't be the same on the show days.
00:55Alternatively the 917 Express shuttle bus service operates from commutation
01:00row in the city centre from 3.30 p.m. each show day. There'll be a dedicated
01:05fan support team based in Lyme Street station and commutation row 30 minutes
01:10before the first scheduled departure and gates opening. The concert bus will run
01:15as normal for all concerts between Sandhills station and Anfield as part of
01:19the shuttle bus service. If you'd rather take the train both Sandhills and
01:22Kirkdale stations on Mersey Rail's Northern line are less than a 30 minute
01:26walk from Anfield. With around 53,000 tickets sold for each night of Taylor
01:31Swift's Sellout Eras tour thousands of people expected to visit Liverpool over
01:35the three days. As with all major events Merseyside Police have been working
01:38closely with Liverpool Football Club and the City Council for months to assist in
01:43planning for the event. A variety of policing tactics will be used including
01:48highly visible police patrols and less visible measures such as playing
01:52clothes officers to ensure these concerts are a safe and enjoyable event
01:56for all involved.
