Quins 25th Oct

Post by Rykard »

Hi,
how do you guys get into the city on sundays? We usually use the Park n Ride (enderby or meynells gorse) but obviously this isn't available.

Normally I get the train in from Market Harborough, though I suspect that doesn't help you much!

On the rare occasions I drive I tend to park either on Victoria Park Road or one of the surrounding roads around Clarendon Park for free, or if I am going into town I'll park in the NCP on Newarke Street which is pretty darn cheap on a Sunday and also as close as you could reasonably expect to the ground.

we'll have to have a wander down and see what the charges are. Love this 'public transport' lark in Leicester...

Just a suggestion but there's always the Matchday bus services, running from Market Harborough, Oakham, Nuneaton, Market Bosworth and Melton Mowbray (with stops on the way at a bunch of other places, usually right outside Public Houses, very convenient) if there's not a stop near you it would work as a park and ride. For example I get on in Hinckley and there's a couple of car parks just over the road, plus the bus goes straight to Welford Road and back.

Yes, they serve a purpose although I tend not to use it as I personally prefer not to just go straight to the game and straight home. As I live in Harborough the train is more convenient, but for someone out in the sticks in between it's a good service.
