Not sure what buses go to Livingston from Edinburgh, but it’s only a 10 min walk to the ground from the bus station

[O'Rourke3]

First Bus go to the centre from a couple of locations. City Centre via St Johns Road or Gorgie/Dalry) - need to check the numbers as the timetable has just changed.

Lothian now run the X27 and x28 Services (Gorgie/Dalry) the grren and white busses too .

Livingston North closer and better than Livingston South train station.

[hfcok]

Lothian country bus X27/X28, from Princes Street, takes you right into the centre, then 5 min walk.

I would say train everytime, even though neither livy train station is near the toni macaroni astro turf mega dome.
A bus from centre Edinburgh to Livvy is 1hr to 1hr 1/2 each way..brutal, doesnt matter whether its the bus that uses the A71 or the A8 both slow as sh*t touring round every scheme in west lothian.... and for some reason the price of a edinburgh/lvingston return on the bus is dearer than the equivalent return on the train! lol

I am not a fan of buses

I moved out to livi last year. My arrangements are beers at home circa 1pm. Leave at approx 2.30pm for 15 min walk to ground.

Looks like £7.50 for a day Lothian West day ticket is best option on bus - all zones and city trams, probably going to endure the epic bus journey on the X27/28 for a change this Sat.

I find Google maps very helpful when planning public transport. Failing that, this is a great site for planning travel in Scotland: https://www.travelinescotland.com

If you leave Princes Street at 12:46, and take the First Bus Service 25, you will arrive at the Bus Station in Livingston at 14:05, it's a 10 minute walk from there to the ground.

[Hillsidehibby]

Thanks guys. Looks like I’ll be taking a bus.

The x23 is about 20mins quicker than that bus as the 25 goes via Broxburn. Good luck with your hibs scarf on through there :-)

Anywhere West of Haymarket is dodgy as far as I'm concerned.

Plenty of Hibbys in Broxburn 👍

As said before 23, X23 on First bus (£6.30 return and take contactless payment) 27 and 28 with Lothian Country (dont know prices but dont take card payment)

Trains run frequently to Livi North. Walk or short taxi journey from there.

[Jay]

You can buy a One ticket on the lothian bus app which lets you use any bus all day, travel zone 2 covers all operators in edinburgh and west lothian. I dont know if theres a minimum spend though as i buy a weekly ticket. Saves me a fortune and means I dont have to stick to one operator

[lord bunberry]

It’s £7.60 return on the train, that’s from Brunstane station it will be less from Waverley. I was going to drive, but I think I’ll just take the train now.

Think its only 45mins from Queen Street station. Train to Livi North and then bus to stadium. Number 25 stops right outside train station and takes you there.

[Dazzjw1875]

Taxi from livi north 5 mins tops! If there is a few better just get a taxi mini bus think it's 01506 444444 prob be no even a £1 each

[BlackSheep]

Any recommendations for parking near the stadium... bringing my wee one so no boozing beforehand.

[villahibs]

First bus number 23, 24 or 25. Show your match ticket (paper or on your phone) and you’ll get a special ticket... 20% off.

Saw on the Livingston Ticket thread that there is a car park more or less next to ground with a £5 charge. I’ll just be parking up at the designer outlet car park in shopping centre for 50p per hour and a short walk down to ground.

Please dont park in the hospital. Theres not enough spaces for visitors and staff as it is. Theres plenty parking at the centre for 50p an hour and is max ten min walk.

[BlackSheep]

Thanks guys 👍🏻
