PEDESTRIANS
Pedestrians can walk to the Britannia Stadium from Stoke using existing footpaths along the bridge over the A500 which leads to the Incinerator access road to link up with the footway/cycleway (and the bridge over the canal and railway line) to the stadium.
Pedestrians can also link up with the new footway from the towpath which runs along the Trent and Mersey canal. Supporters can walk from Heron Cross (Grove Road) and Hollybush (Highfield Drive) to the stadium, along a footway / cycleway.
There is NO PEDESTRIAN ACCESS along the busy A500 or A50 roads. Finally, pedestrians can walk to the stadium along Stanley Matthews Way running up from Trentham Road (A5035).
BY RAIL
The nearest railway station is Stoke-on-Trent. The station is on the main line from Manchester Piccadilly Station to London Euston Station and also has major links to Birmingham, Crewe and Derby.
Supporters arriving by train on matchday can take a two-minute walk to Glebe Street in Stoke where buses run to the stadium at regular intervals. Turn right out of the station and take the next right to go under the bridge. Follow the road to the end and turn left, down a bank and into Glebe Street. Buses depart on the left hand side by the church.
BY BUS
From Hanley Bus Station, take the number 23 bus to Glebe Street where the shuttle bus service to the stadium departs.
The service continues between Glebe Street and the Britannia Stadium at 15 minute intervals up until 15 minutes before kick-off. Return buses depart immediately after the match from bus terminals behind the Sentinel Stand (East). Normal fares apply.
Wardle Transport run a number of bus services.
National Express also run many coaches to Hanley bus station from around the UK.
BY CAR
From North / South / West
Leave the M6 at Junction 15. Take the A500 to Stoke-on-Trent then the A50 to Derby / Uttoxeter (the Britannia Stadium is signposted and visible on the sky-line to the right). Once on the A50 take the first turn off and head up the bank towards the traffic lights. Turn right at the traffic lights and head over the fly-over towards the stadium.
From East
A50 all the way to Stoke-on-Trent. Take the last turn off on the A50 with the stadium to the left.
