STAGECOACH, the UK’s leading bus operator, will operate 2 dedicated matchday bus services for the latest major sporting event at the Hill Dickinson Stadium this weekend.  

The 2 services - 919 from Liverpool City centre, and 939 from Bootle bus station - are designed to provide reliable, convenient, and affordable transport for supporters travelling to the new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock. 

They will operate this Saturday, 1 November 2025, as England take on Australia in the decisive 2nd game of the 2025 Rugby League Ashes series.  

Each route offers a direct connection to the stadium, helping fans from across the Region to reach the ground with ease, with both the 919 and 939 operating from 3 hours before kick-off. Return journeys will be available from 10 minutes after the final whistle. 

Ticket Information:- 

  • Adult single fare:- £2 
  • Adult return fare:- £4 
  • Young person day fare (MyTicket):- £2.20 
  • Group ticket (return for four adults):- £12 
  • Payments accepted via the Stagecoach app, contactless, or cash 


Simon Tramalloni, Interim Operations Director at Stagecoach Merseyside, said:- “Our matchday services serving the Hill Dickinson Stadium have been very successful so far, helping thousands of people to and from the ground in a convenient, cost-effective and accessible way. By running services for the test events listening to feedback we’ve been able to refine our matchday offering to suit the demands of our passengers. Don’t let parking, traffic and long walks spoil your matchday experience, simply hop on one of our services and enjoy the build-up stress-free.” 

Stagecoach runs an ongoing matchday travel offer, helping the club to transition into its new home at Hill Dickinson Stadium, on the banks of the royal blue Mersey.
