I have a meeting in Bolton on Friday. I'm flying into John Lennon airport. I'm getting conflicting advice about the best way to get to Bolton from the airport.
Can any locals give me some tips?
Get on to Speke Blvd after leaving the airport, continue to the A5300 Knowsley Expressway, take the first exit, M62 eastbound towards Manchester, leave at j11 and take the M60 N&E until you reach the M61 which takes you right to Bolton.
Don't bother with the M57/East Lancs Rd route as there are too many traffic lights unless you are going during morning rush hour in which case you want Speke blvd - M57 - East Lancs Rd eastbound - M60 - M61
If you are making the journey before 09.00 the traffic east of the M6 junction will be horrendous.
you'll never want to leave (Bolton that is - Liverpool's a hell hole)
Liverpool may have it's detractors, but Bolton is one seriously depressing place.
when I ride my bike around Bolton it's like being in the Hovis ad.
just waiting for that capital of culture train to come along....any time now 🙄
Get from the airport to the Centre, then jump on't train from Lime Street to Bolton. Grab coffee and a croissant and marvel at the post-apocalypse landscape that is the outskirts of Liverpool. Yes - people really do live like that in the 21st century.
dude just spend the extra cash and jump straight into a Taxi 😉

where are you coming from?
Let's be honest, you could show images like that from any large northern city these days. You could also have posted images of mossley hill or woolton etc, but they wouldn't conform to the stereotype would they...
hey I just typed liverpool into google 😐
sorry...I typed Liverpool slum 😆
calm down - just having a little fun with our scouse neighbours
Sure you did...
A guy called shooterman, flying into liverpool for a "meeting" in bolton. That's not a budget hit at all is it. 😉
Public transport from Airport to Bolton or driving?
haha Bolton residents knocking Liverpool, behave you clown...
Public transport.
To feed Surrounded's conspiracy theory further, I am travelling from Belfast.
Oh, and I might be a bit tight for time on the way back
If you;re goin by public transport this is your friend:
When travelling to the tropical oasis that is Bolton, pack suncream. When travelling through liverpool wear earplugs.
Lol at SBZ
