Warrington is located on a number of transport routes and junctions.

One of the oldest of these is the Bridgwater Canal and we would be delighted if anyone wishes to travel by boat.

Alternatively we have the following :-

  • Rail
  • Motorway
  • Cyclable Road
  • The Trans Pennine Trail (for the mud pluggers)

and anyone coming from abroad may use either the Liverpool or Manchester Airports.

If needed then some Warrington taxi companies are :-

Abba Cars    01925 444444
Crown Cars    01925 234567

Rail

Warrington has two railway stations. Warrington Bank Quay is on the West Coast main line and connects directly to Scotland, London, the Southeast, West and Southwest. It also has some trains to Chester and on to North Wales. Warrington Central serves the cross country routes with links from Merseyside, Yorkshire, the East Midlands and East Anglia.

Both stations are within a few hundred yards of the conference locations and shown in our Locations page.

Motorway

M62, M6, and M56 all converge on Warrington (aren't we lucky!). Just follow directions to the town centre.

Cyclable Road

You know the score. Just find your way using your own initiative and don't expect any cycle specific signs. It can be very pleasant on the lanes around Warrington.

Folding cycles can be brought into the conference and there will be secure stands available for cycles.

The Trans Pennine Trail

Those coming cross country could of course use the famous Trans Pennine Trail which passes through Warrington.
