Central Station is closest but fro you Bank Quay would be best and about three quarters of a mile away if that

I'll give you a lift - cost you £10 a mile and a no return ride if you beat us

Bank Quay is the direct one from Wigan, only 10 mins journey.

But its miles away from the town centre and Stadium to walk.

You cant get a train from Wigan direct to Warrington central, you must change at Manchester and would take about 2 hrs to get there!!!

Just get the 360 bus from Wigan or drive.

Behave! Thought you were a postman. It's about 10 minutes from the town centre. And fifteen (20 tops) from the ground.

the fan that offered you this info thinks We play in a a really $hitty stadium too, so accept he may make some stuff sound wilder than they really are....

0.8miles and a 16 min walk from station to ground

Bank Quay, Warrington Bank Quay Station (N-bound)
Head north on A5061/Parker St toward Factory Ln
Continue on Crosfield St
Continue on Froghall Ln
Continue on Tanners Ln
Turn left at Erwood St
arrive at Buckley St

it may feel like miles if you are dressed in all sorts of designer menswear constantly looking over your shoulder to make sure some scally isnt going to mug you for your top of the range sweat shirt and sneakers.....

Thanks for that mate.
Just been looking at trains, theres a train leaving Wigan at half past 6 getting to Warrington in around 11 minutes - leaving us plenty of time to get to the ground and have a few beer stops.

Coming back, were talking 23 mins past 10, 37 mins past 10, and then last direct train back to Wigan is 13 minutes past 11.

Should leave us in plenty of time after the game to get back to the station i persume?
