Everton launch new 'express' service

Everton Football Club is launching a new 'express' service to get fans to Goodison on matchday.

The Toffees have teamed up with Stagecoach to offer Blues fans an easy and reliable way of getting to the match with a dedicated bus service.
A brand new 919 route will ferry fans directly from Liverpool City Centre to Goodison Park.

To launch the new service, season ticket members will get free travel to the ground when the Blues play Southampton for the home opener this weekend.
The 919 service will run at regular intervals from two hours before kick-off to ensure arrival at the ground in time for kick-off.

Departing from St John's Lane, opposite Lime Street Station, the new service will return from Walton Lane, opposite Everton One, 10 minutes after the final whistle.

To celebrate the launch of the service, Everton season ticket members travelling to the Club’s opening home fixture of the Premier League season on Saturday, August 18 can use the service for free by showing their Season Card to the driver.
Mark Rollings, Head of Partnership Management at Everton, said: “We look forward to working alongside Stagecoach in promoting their services, including the 919 bus.

“This is a great initiative for supporters, which will provide a safe, reliable and trustworthy way for Blues to come to the match.

"Supporters from all over the world come to Goodison Park and this non-stop service from Liverpool City Centre offers fans an affordable transport option.”
Rob Jones, Managing Director of Stagecoach Merseyside and South Lancashire, said: “This is about giving fans the chance to leave the car at home and get to the match without the added stress that comes with driving to the game.
“Stagecoach provides great value travel options for supporters of all ages. Fans can get to and from Goodison Park with ease this season using a dayrider ticket that gives unlimited day travel across Merseyside.

"And with contactless payment methods on board, bus travel has never been more straightforward.

“We look forward to working with Everton Football Club throughout the season and welcoming thousands of Evertonians on our buses across the year."
