By Train
By Train from Manchester and Wigan
The closest train station is Atherton.
We really recommend using an app for train timetables as Northern Trains are in a bit of a state right now with short notice cancellations and rail replacement buses. If you want to be more old school the Northern Rail timetables are here. You want the timetable for N14 – Manchester to Southport and Headbolt Lane. It is currently on page 2.
By Bus
From Bolton or Leigh (582 Bus)
From Bolton or Leigh use the 582 bus service. The 582 stops right outside the roller rink.
From Horwich, Westhoughton, and Daisy Hill (516 Bus)
The closest 516 stop is the Market St / Bag Lane stop. From here it’s a short walk through Atherton to the roller rink.
The 516 also runs to/from Leigh. From Leigh the 582 is the better bus as it stops right outside the beer festival.
From Wigan or Worsley / Trafford Centre (132 Bus)
The 132 service runs between Wigan, Hindley, Atherton, Tyldesley, Worsley, and The Trafford Centre.
From the Trafford Centre it connects with the Metrolink back to Deansgate/Castlefield. The Trafford Centre is an excellent hub for bus and Metrolink connections if coming from further afield. Use the TfGM Journey Planner to get to us.
The 132 will drop you off on Mealhouse Lane if coming from Wigan or at the Atherton Arms if coming from Worsley/Trafford Centre. Both are a similar short walk to the roller rink.
From Manchester by V2 (V2 Bus)
The V2 bus service will bring you to Atherton from Manchester city centre.
Coming from Manchester to Atherton you should get off at the Co-op stop on Market St.
Catch the return V2 to Manchester from the Mealhouse Lane Stop.
