PUBLIC TRANSPORT
.
Train
Millbrook (Hants) Station, 0.9 miles. This is only a station for those happy to walk a mile or so - and it's not a straightforward walking route.
Bus
Customers are strongly advised to verify all bus details for themselves, as routes and times are always liable to change.
From Southampton City Centre and Southampton Central Station :
Bluestar is the principal operator between the City Centre / Mainline Railway Station and Shirley. Routes which previously served the stop outside the venue no longer run on Saturdays, but Routes 4, 7, 17, 18, 19 & 61 will take you to the centre of Shirley. From the City, alight at the Lidl stop on Shirley Road, cross over and walk up Shirley Avenue to the cross-roads with St. James' Road (600 yards). Turn right and the Methodist Church is on your right 75 yards on.
On the return journey, the buses stop near McDonald's (returning, turn left into Shirley Road from Shirley Avenue).
