Everton V Leeds Match Day Services Set for Jan 26

Football fans heading to Everton V Leeds United at Hill Dickinson Stadium on January 26, 2026, can use dedicated match day bus services, transit officials said. Two special routes will operate for the 8pm kickoff, though officials didn't specify service frequencies or exact departure times. The services aim to help supporters reach the venue safely while managing expected crowds.

Two Routes Serve Stadium

Service 929 will depart from Liverpool ONE at stand four, while service 939 will run from Bootle, also departing from stand four, according to the transit agency. The routes are specifically designed to accommodate match-day crowds. Officials didn't provide details about return service schedules or how late buses will run after the match ends. Transit agencies typically add special event services for major sporting events to reduce traffic congestion and provide alternatives to driving.

Service Details

Officials outlined the basic service routes but didn't release comprehensive scheduling information. Specific departure times throughout the evening weren't available, nor did the agency say how frequently buses will run on each route. The transit system didn't announce whether additional buses beyond the two routes will be added if demand exceeds capacity. Officials said passengers should plan their journeys in advance and arrive at designated stands with plenty of time before the 8pm kickoff.

Implementation Timeline

The special match day services will operate on January 26, 2026, for the evening fixture. Officials didn't say whether similar services will be provided for other matches at Hill Dickinson Stadium this season or if this represents a one-time arrangement. The agency typically announces event-specific transit services several weeks in advance, allowing fans to plan accordingly.

Rider Information

Supporters attending the match should arrive at their departure stands early to ensure they reach the stadium before kickoff. Officials said the dedicated services will help fans avoid transportation challenges on match day.
