Lichfield to Liverpool from $18: 4 ways by bus, train, flight or car

• On your train trip from Lichfield to Liverpool, you'll be primarily traveling with West Midlands Railway or Avanti West Coast. Both operators offer catering services, including a selection of snacks, hot drinks, and at times, a trolley service with light meals available for purchase. It's a good idea to pack some snacks, just in case the service is limited during your specific journey.

• For seating options, West Midlands Railway typically offers Standard Class and First Class. Standard Class is comfortable for a short journey with standard seating arrangements, while First Class provides larger seats with more legroom, complimentary refreshments, and a quieter atmosphere. On Avanti West Coast, you have Standard Class and First Class as well, but you might also find a Business Class option on some services, which features even more space and a dedicated service.

• When you arrive at Liverpool Lime Street Station, you'll find luggage storage services available where you can leave your bags if needed. Additionally, there are restrooms, but showers may not be available. To reach the city center quickly, take the Merseyrail train service from Lime Street to James Street or Moorfields stations; both are just a few minutes away. Alternatively, the bus services like the 500 City Link can get you there efficiently as well. For more information, check the local transport schedules on the Merseytravel website: merseytravel.gov.uk
