Merseyside's modified scene

M62 east,
straight in.

The M62 corridor connects Merseyside directly to Barton. From St Helens or Knowsley you join eastbound and the road takes you straight to J12 of the M60 — which is the Eccles exit, a short turn onto Barton Road, and you're there.

Members from Merseyside have been making the run for years. It's further than most, but the M62 is a clean motorway cruise and Barton on a Friday night is worth every mile.
