racers and royals 8,730 Posted June 6, 2016 If you choose this option when you get of the train go out by the front entrance, head for piccadilly you will find the 203 bus stop just before entering Piccadilly Gardens (there is a Cycle Republic store right opposite the bus stop). Ask the driver to put you off at the Showcase Cinema complex (buy a day rider ticket for £4 its cheaper), the Stadium is at the back and can be found by walking through the Cinema car park. If they are flying up they will have a limo booked to whisk them from the airport to the track !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Notenoughnerve 67 Posted June 6, 2016 Pretty much what Rob said. I don't think you'd get much change out of £40 each way in an airport taxi but if you pre-book it would be cheaper, shouldn't take more than 30 mins to drive from the airport to the track. The only problem with non-airport taxis is they can't wait at the airport so you have to call them when you arrive and wait for them to turn up which can take 30+ minutes. I usually use Lynx if you are planning on using that option and you'll be able to arrange a pick up for the return. If you are going to use the train/bus it will be worth checking what is running as its bank holiday and in any case I'd give yourself at least 90 minutes to allow for faff. Overall I think it would be just as quick to drive up but the return on bank holiday evening would be a nightmare and particularly grim after another heavy defeat, lol! It's a full weekday service on the trains on Bank Holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted June 6, 2016 I was in the west stand, but ended up cheering Stevie Worrall most of the time 😀 Can't believe some are saying the racing wasn't as good as v Coventry - must've been some meeting, because it was superb last night; would've been lauded at any other track The Coventry meeting really was that good!

Woz01 3,589 Posted June 6, 2016 Second that! The Belle Vue-Coventry meeting was the best ive seen in a long time. Dont think I've seen a poor EL meeting this season to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks for the advice. Just driving up leaving at about 6 am is a real pain on. Bank holiday. 10 hour drive up and back or 50 mins each way on a plane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
