Three Queens event, Liverpool, 24 to 26 May 2015

My tips for this event are: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/W...efe6af9d68f!2m2!1d-3.02553!2d53.47497!1m0!3e2

OR Kirkby (Merseyside) has a lot of car park spaces. (If you're thinking of driving some of the way)
OR Hall Road/Hightown are fairly quiet and not that many yellow lines or parking restrictions in the vicinity.

Have fun if you're also going!

 

The Ellesmere Port-Hooton section will run as a bus replacement on Monday May 25.
This is so other Merseyrail services can be strengthened to 6-car operation for the day.
I expect New Brighton, as the best viewpoint, will be unusually busy.
There are also some closures of stations in the city centre to avoid overcrowding.

Pondering whether to try Hooton - big car park; spaces on Monday?

 

Does anyone know how the queing system to access Liverpool Lime Street station will work? (they did something similar at the Giant's event)

1. Will there be any problems/need to que to be access the station to board a Virgin service to London Euston
2. When they've had ques before and the que systems outside the actual station, has this been for specific services or a general line just to enter the station.

Although I'll be down South, one of my friend is coming down from Liverpool to visit my while I'm down there and I do not want him having any problems accessing the station and missing the VT to EUS (he is a train driver based at LIV though so I might just suggest he flashes his staff pass and walks straight on by, it is his base station afterall)

 

I passed a notice today at Lime St, to the effect that there will be single entry/exit.
Entry/queues at the south side, exit to the north.
Wirral line accessed from the street only.

 

hopefully my friend will be able to by-pass the ques with his staff pass.
