For all stations: From Liverpool Lime Street, Central or James Street, take Merseyrail's Wirral line service to New Brighton. From Chester, take the Merseyrail train to Hamilton Square, and then change for New Brighton. From Wrexham or Shotton, take the train to Bidston, then take the Liverpool-bound train and go one stop to Birkenhead North, and then take the train to New Brighton.

Get around
Frequent and reliable Merseyrail services operate between the town's stations. There is also an extensive bus network. Saveaway tickets are valid on all public transport in Wallasey. These can be purchased at any staffed railway or bus stations in Merseyside. An "all areas" ticket is best, if intending to also travel to Liverpool, Chester, Ellesmere Port, Formby or Southport.
