Taylor Swift fans face travel chaos getting to Liverpool stadium for concerts
Taylor Swift fans traveling to Anfield Stadium for the upcoming concerts are facing a major disruption due to an announced bus strike by Stagecoach drivers ¹. The strike, scheduled from June 13 to 18, coincides with the concerts on June 13, 14, and 15, potentially affecting thousands of fans ².
*Reason for the Strike*
The strike is a result of a pay dispute between Stagecoach drivers and the company. The drivers are seeking a fair pay rise, citing a significant difference in their salaries compared to Arriva drivers ¹.
*Alternative Travel Options*
While the strike may cause inconvenience, alternative travel options are available. Arriva buses will continue to operate, and fans can also use the Merseyrail service to Sandhills and walk to Anfield Stadium ².

Liverpool Football Club has issued important reminders for concert-goers, including ³ ⁴ ⁵:
– No camping outside the stadium or in the local area
