Good to know before you book

  • Not checked: the last trains after a concert. If you need a train home, check the times for your date before you go.
  • Our walking minutes end at the outside of the Hydro on the map, not at your entrance door. Allow a few extra minutes.[2] Calculated from map data
  • Not checked: the walk from the Premier Inn Pacific Quay, across the river. Our map route was much longer than the straight line, so a bridge is probably missing on the map.

Times, routes and fares can change. We show what the official source said on the date we checked it; always check the operator before you travel.

Calculated from map data

Worked out from OpenStreetMap, for example a walking time along the footpaths. Good, but nobody walked it for this page.

Reported by official source

Taken from the airport, the transport company or the hotel's own website, with the date we checked.
