As Wigan Warriors’ 2019 fan engagement strategy, the club is providing four bus routes for supporters to make their way to the DW Stadium on matchday.
This new travel service, supplied by Tyrers of Adlington, will start on Sunday as the Wigan Warriors host Sydney Roosters for the World Club Challenge.
The Tyrer double decker buses will be available for Wigan fans in all 2019 home games and will be branded in Cherry and White to make it easier for supporters to recognise and access the service and distinguish them from general service transport.
Prices for travel are as follows:
£3 for an Adults Single ticket
£4 for an Adults Return ticket
£2 for an U16 Single ticket
£3 for an U16 Return ticket
Fans can get on the buses at any normal bus stop.
Wigan Warriors Marketing Director, Martin McLoughlin, said: “We want to enhance our fans’ matchday experience by providing buses to and from the DW Stadium. This new launch will allow more Wigan Warriors supporters to attend games at a fair travel price.”

Warriors launch matchday bus service
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Warriors launch matchday bus service
Not on my route, but a great initiative, can only be a positive.
Hope people take advantage of the service, wonder if they got the idea from the Anfield Test, where buses are laid on from the train stations to the ground ?
