Aintree, April
The Grand National meeting brings about 150,000 people to Aintree over three days. Pre-book a chauffeur from Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool or the Midlands and skip the queues on Ormskirk Road.
Aintree, April
Aintree week, Thursday, Ladies Day, the National.
The Grand National meeting runs over three days. Thursday is Opening Day, Friday is Ladies Day with the Style Stakes, and Saturday is the National itself. Each day has the same transport problem: the A59 Ormskirk Road grinds from about midday, the Ormskirk train runs hot, and Uber surges are routine. For hospitality box holders, the problem is worse: the corporate drop-off is timed and badged.
R5 runs the approach from the eastern M57 side, drops at the Queen Mother enclosure or the appropriate corporate entrance on your pass, and retrieves you from the Western or Equestrian gate post-racing depending on your box. Drivers are briefed on the specific enclosure access, Tattersalls, County, Lord Sefton, and hold at the post-racing pickup radius. Where timing allows, a multi-day booking keeps the same driver for all three days.
