Away days | Preston North End
If you are heading to Lancashire to cheer on the Swans at Deepdale, here is a guide to help with your travel.
Preston North End v Swansea City
Date: Saturday, February 1 (3pm).
Address: Deepdale, Sir Tom Finney Way, Preston, PR1 6RU
Distance from Liberty Stadium: 236.7 miles
SEAT ALLOCATION
The Bill Shankly stand holds up to 3,000 fans behind the goal. The concourses have TVs. Cheeseburgers, hot dogs, pies and a pie and a pint deal are available.
PARKING
Watch for speed cameras around the stadium. Moorfields School (PR1 6AA) has parking (£5); otherwise it’s a case of finding street parking.
After the game, it’s quicker to head down Deepdale Road instead of Blackpool Road. This brings you out five miles south on the motorways, avoiding the congestion on Blackpool Road.
BY TRAIN
Preston station is 1.5 miles from the ground, with some good pubs on the way (a taxi direct to the ground will cost around £5).
Trains leave Swansea at 6.49am, 7.47am and 8.54am for the five-hour journey. Trains back are at 5.17pm and 6:17pm, getting in at 10.05pm and 11.16 respectively.
