Cliftonhill Parking

Parking at Albion Rovers

On Main Street itself (and the Coatbridge Business Centre) Parking is restricted by Police Cones. How you get around this is there is a housing scheme behind Cliftonhill, you can park there or park in Coatbridge and take the 15 minute walk back to the stadium.

Cliftonhill Rail and Tube

Fancy a McDonalds?

Coatdyke is certainly the quickest train station. On peak times there is a 15 minute service to Glasgow Queen Street. Whifflet is further away (would say a good 20 minute walk) but McDonalds is on the way so there are some bright spots.

Whifflet train station.

Visited the ground last year and would say Whifflet train station is at least 15 mins away on a good steady walk

Nearest Railway station

Coatdyke (West of Scotland via Glasgow to Airdrie line), Whifflet (Motherwell to Whifflet & Glasgow Central to Whifflet lines) Both are approx a 10 minute walk from Cliftonhill.
