Title: Burton to Altrincham by train
Post by: brewer on December 01, 2006, 09:55:25 PM: How viable is it? I can get to Picadilly easy. It's just getting from Picadilly to your ground and back.

Any help would be appreciated guys

Thanks

So after the game the trains are okay as well ? Worth getting a taxi or is it a nice 10 minute walk?

Its an easy walk from the station, signedposted. Moss Lane is the first left after you exit the station forecourt having turned left. Plenty pubs in town (although not quite in the same league as Burton)! The Bridge on Moss Lane is ok too, and the club bar will be open from early on, enter from Moss Lane just by the main stand, not from inside the ground, you probably wont be able to.

When u come out of the station theres a pub opposite called the station (surprise surprise) usually a few Alty in there come in and have a beer if u fancy ;)
