How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Liverpool from Southampton? With 7 connections between 2 Train, Flight and Bus operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision.

Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Southampton and Liverpool, you can pay as low as $71 with a Train from CrossCountry.

Travel duration
