In addition to the scheduled bus services, there are shuttle bus services in operation on match days from Southampton Central Train Station and Southampton Town Quay Ferry Terminal.  These services will commence two hours before the match kicks off and will continue to run until kick off.  The service will also be in operation after the match to take passengers back to the railway station/ferry terminal.  The service is not a numbered bus service and will simply say “Stadium Shuttle” on inbound journeys and “Rail/Ferry Shuttle” on outbound journeys. 

Passengers are to be advised that the railway shuttle service leaves from the Commercial Road side of the station outside Blechynden Terrace.  The ferry shuttle will leave from the main bus stop at the terminal.
